Pedals are your interface with the bike -- they need to be stiff and reliable for you to get the most out of your ride. That's why Shimano Ultegra pedals are build the way they are. With an extra-wide stainless steel platform for maximum cleat to pedal contact, a durable aluminum body and a stainless steel axle, these pedals provide unsurpassed power transfer and extra-secure engagement.

Shimano's popular Ultegra road bike pedals have been updated so the finish matches all the other components in the new Ultegra group. Most other road-proven features remain unchanged. As with the previous iteration, it's the same steel-spindled, aluminum bodied pedal with composite cleat retention bar. The spring tension is adjustable, and each pedal runs on two sets of ball bearings. There is a steel plate atop the pedal, so cleat rub will wear the plate without damaging the rest of the body. The pedal comes with a SM-SH11 floating cleat with yellow wear tabs, and the float is three degrees either way. Stack height is 13.7 millimeters, and the pedals include a pair of cleats and mounting hardware.
Features
- Aluminum construction
- Cleat-dependent float
- Floating cleats included
- SPD-SL cleat type
- 387-gram weight per pair
Warranty
This Shimano product includes a limited two-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

This is my second pair of clipless pedals, my former being crank brothers candy pedals. So going from those to the Shimano Ultegra took a little getting used to. It's similar to driving a stick shift. It takes a few times to get it down, but once you do you realize that it is so much more fun. I would recommend sitting on your bike next to a wall to support yourself on and practiced clipping in and clipping out. The two biggest things I notice is one, getting clipped back in from a stop can take a little practice and the second, I found that these are way more comfortable then my former pair of pedals. They sport a bigger platform and I found that I could pedal longer with less strain on my feet. I'm really glad that I purchased these and I am looking forward to many miles with them.

I am a beginner cyclist (so take this for what you will), but these pedals felt so natural after the first few minutes of clipping in that I wonder why I didn't invest in clip-ins a long time ago. The 6 degree "float" seems fine to me as I have adjusted the cleats on the bottom of my Shimano SH-R132L Cycling Shoes to minimize the amount of float required. They are supposed to be self centering and other users have said this puts strain on their knees, but I am not aware of this stress with correctly calibrated cleats (could be because I'm using all Shimano components for shoes/cleats/pedals???). Being a beginner they are stiff to clip out off (even on the lowest setting) and do take a little practice, but having used them for 2-3 rides a week for 4+ weeks now I find the entry/exit second nature. The clip-in is a firm, comforting "click" leaving no doubt that your engaged. I love the width of the pedal which allows a very precise down-stroke. There may be other riders/commenter's more experienced with different brands and makes, but for me as a beginner on a road bike these are more than fitting my expectations every day I ride on them. I ride a stock Cannondale Supersix 5 105 purchased January 2011.

I tried these to compare to my Speedplay pedals. The Ultegra is a really stable, well built pedal with a spectacular reputation. Your foot is really locked in, and I felt confident in sprints that I would not pull out.
BUT it is not for me. The float is centering, meaning although there is 6 degrees of float, the cleat requires some force to utilize the float, and that force places stress on the knee. I have Speedplay pedals that have eliminated any knee and ankle trouble for me. 25 degrees of non-centering float.Speedplay X/5 Road Pedal
