Shimano Deore XT M8000 SPD Race Pedals. Whether you race or are just looking for a first rate, lightweight pedal upgrade for your bike, the new Shimano XT M8000 pedal is a worthy successor to the older XT pedals, and brings plenty of improvements in design and function. The M8000 retains the industry leading, reliable and bombproof retention that Shimano SPD pedals are known for, but with a redesigned platform that gives you 7.7% more shoe to pedal contact than the older M780 pedals. This is because the platform is now 2.8mm wider, but without adding any grams. A wider pedal gives you a more stable platform to push against, which improves power transfer and foot stability, with fewer hotspots or pressure points. The pedal stack has also been lowered by .5mm, which puts your foot closer to the pedal axle which improves both bike fit and power output.
