SPD Trail Pedal vs System pedal Road PD-S07 review

With a wide contact area, the PD-ME700 pedals let riders focus on the trail ahead. Designed to work seamlessly with SHIMANO AM series shoes, the SPD trail pedals deliver enhanced stability over rough terrain.

If you’re making the step up to a clipless pedal but don’t want the stress of being unable to clip out quickly, the XLC Road System Pedal PD-S07 is the perfect pedal for you. Compatible with Shimano’s innovative SPD range of cleats, these one-sided pedals allow you to get to grips with being clipped in but with extremely easy removal. Constructed with an aluminium body, these pedals will last no matter how much power you put through them. A sturdy yet lightweight construction allows the rider to put the watts down when they are putting in a big training effort. XLC have used a CroMo axle, and a CNC-machined sealed ball bearing for ultimate smoothness in your pedal stroke. Sealing the bearing means it won’t be at risk from mud and water ingress, which in turn would strip the grease from the bearing, significantly reducing the lifespan of the pedal. A set of cleats is included in the box, so you can get straight onto fitting and riding with your pedals. The pedals are available in silver show less
