Product Description
SHIMANO R7900 DURA-ACE CARBON SPD-SL Clipless Road Pedal w/ SH-11. Molded Carbon composite body ! Shimano's Lightest Pedal Yet - Only 248g.s ! The ultimate goal of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal technology is to transfer more power from the body directly to the bike. Inspired by a Tour de France legend and realized through the legacy of Shimano Systems Engineering, SPD-SL integrates the shoe and pedal so they perform as a single ultra-efficient component. The extra-wide low-profile cleat and binding mechanism creates a highly stable interface between the shoe and pedal, in a super lightweight design. No wasted movement. No loss to flex, voids or mismatched shoe/pedal designs. It's why so many Pro Tour and serious riders use SPD-SL. SPD-SL Extra-wide platform reduces lateral rocking & the stainless steel plate prevents wear ! Extra Wide sealed bearing placement for uniform load distribution ! Cartridge bearings & axle unit, Adjustable tension adjuster, Single sided. Pedal Type: Clipless. Intended Use: Road. Pedal Spindle: 9/16". Spindle Material: CroMly.

These pedals work exactly as you would expect from Shimano Dura Ace. I have used the ultegra level pedals for nearly 10 years and never had a complaint. I wanted to dress my new bike up with a new set of pedals, and the look of these are perfect! The large, low profile platform does a great job distributing the pressure on your shoe. They feel very secure on the cleat when snapping in and during the release. The package includes a yellow set of cleats (floating, vs the red fixed style). I find these cleats to work very well and are relatively inexpensive to replace when they get worn. They are extremely light and on par with most other carbon pedals on the market. Installation is very easy and simply requires an 8mm hex tool instead of a spanner wrench. They are very expensive, but if you appreciate high quality and performance, you can't get much better than the new 7900 series pedals.

Before the Dura Ace PD-7900, I had been using the PD-7800 pedals, which has an alloy core. The newer PD-7900 pedals have a carbon composite core instead, and thus shaving the weight by 30 gms; the PD-7800 pedals weigh 281 gms, whereas the PD-7900 pedals weigh 251 gms. The pedal platform is basically the same on both pedals. I've always been a huge fan of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal technology and wide pedal base, allowing ease of on-off pedal action and power transfer. A wider base, I feel, provides more comfort because of less pressure on the feet.
It's been a long time since I used another set of pedals other than Shimano DA, so I can't give a fair comparison with another brand. However, when I first tried the PD-7800 I was impressed with the performance and comfort of the pedals and convinced that these pedals are suited for me; thus far I'm just as satified with the PD-7900 pedals.
One last note: I price-shopped before making my purchasing on Amazon.com. At the time of purchase, it offered by-far the lowest price compared to other internet sellers, which were mostly selling for over $300. For a set of high-quality Shimano Dura Ace pedals for under $250 is a steal.

This set of shimano pedals is great. I've used them for over 1500 miles already at this point. Used my old 7401's(Look style cleat) for over 20+years and finally decided to get some new ones. Much lighter, easier to clip into as well as out of, also much easier to walk safely with the new style cleat. These pedals kind of disappear which is what an expensive set of pedals should do. You should not have to even think about the pedals and they do this for you very well. The retention adjustment is wide enough to make the beginner to the pro happy. The replaceable stainless contact plate is a fantastic idea. The reason my old 7401's bit the dust was wear to the aluminum pedal body that began to cause squeaking. They would still have been perfectly functional if they had a replaceable contact surface. Bearing quality is the equal of the original pedal, that is to say very good. The older bearings feel better than the new but have 20 years of break in compared to the new and I'm sure the new ones will achieve that level of decreased friction with some time, they are already much improved with a few miles on them. Get some, what are you waiting for? I should have done it years ago.
