Product description

New entry-level road pedal system for 2020, combining top tier looks with new rider functionality. Building on the durability and feel of the R540s, the RS500s are entry-level road pedals for beginner riders looking to up their game. Updating a classic, these pedals combine the look and performance of higher tier pedals with a newer, simpler functionality, making the SPD-SL pedal system even more accessible.



All new for 2020, the entry-level RS500s feature the same robust SPD-SL system as top tier Shimano pedals only with a lighter spring mechanism for beginners and riders demanding easier disengagement in dangerous high-traffic areas. These pedals are also just suitable for any rider wanting to experience the fluid integration of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal system at an accessible price point, since they feature a wider platform body for efficient power transfer and solid stability underfoot.Inside the unit, wide bearing placement distributes rider load evenly across the platform for a stable, comfortable pedal stroke, while the sealed cartridge axle prevents unwanted dirt and grime from entering, keeping you on the road and out of the workshop.
