A slightly cheaper version of the XT pedals I have been using for the last 20 years. The design is faultless- they work in all conditions - and keep on working! They are virtually maintenance free- just clean the clip in area with a brush and water to remove dirt and grit after each ride - bearings can be regreased - but this shouldn’t need doing often unless you jet wash the seals and force water in . The tension can be set to release the foot with just a slight lateral twist - which means putting the foot down in an emergency is quick and saves falling off. Quality Shimano build - a great pedal - and built to last even with the inevitable pedal strikes which happen on rocky terrain

Quick and easy in and out, solid no nonsense pedals. Fit just fine with my regular cleats and 3 pairs of shoes. Can’t go wrong with these for off road, commute, road. I’ve smacked multiple rocks and these just keep going. Bearings are nice and smooth, just love these things.

I have been on these pedals for about a month now. They do everything you would hope and expect. The one flaw I have with these is that I need to tighten the springs to the tightest gear so that my foot does not move around. It's not my first set of spds where I have had to tighten them down
I bought these to replace the bottom-of-the-line platform pedals on the hybrid bicycle I use to commute to work. I use them with the included Shimano SH51 cleats. These are my first clipless pedals.It probably took 15 minutes of pedaling around the carpark, clipping and unclipping as I went, to feel confident enough to try them on the roads. It then still took a couple of rides to really get used to them.My biggest issue when cycling with platform pedals was that my shoes would occasionally lose contact with the pedals, especially when cycling in wet weather. I love the extra control these pedals have afforded me. The additionally power is a bonus.
Very nice quality...appear to be well made. Stiff but they are new and will "wear in". The cleats included are nice but I think that the M series for more of a beginner would be appropriate but that is just an opinion as I like the cleats a lot. Just finished the first ride...lightened the spring by 3 clicks and this seems about right...take the time to check out the clips prior to the first ride as they seemed a tad stiff for me. The only complaint I would have would be for the instructions...would be nice to be in LARGER print and a few pictures would have been nice to serve as instructions/tutorial....but what do I know. Overall an excellent product!
I bought these pedals as a second set for my wife. She has another set of Shimano pedals using the small steel style cleat. These are quite an improvement in weight and design over the previous pedals. They appear much more minimal in design and they function just as well. I've always liked Shimano pedals for their ease of entry and release. A good choice for even the demanding rider.
I’ve been using the 540 pedals, seems like, forever. I use them on a touring bike with Sidi Dominator 7s. They always do the job and require no regular maintenance unless you’re in crazy mud. The newer models are cool but these work just as well for half the price.
Very good out of the box. Have ridden 175 mi with them. Easy clip in and out without wiggle when peddling. No adjustments needed.This is my second set for a new bike. Have used the first set on a mtb for 2551 miles without a problem.
I have always loved Shimano pedals, as opposed to other competitors and use these pedals primarily for mounting biking. The design is very robust and cant take a good knocking on rocks and roots. The adjustable float and disengage force is a must as you can really dial in how fast to release your foot when you get into sticky situations. The float definitely helps keep pressure off your knee joints and keeps them fresh. The pedal does a decent job to shedding mud but on a recent muddy ride, the mud did cake around the SPD cleat and made it harder to pull my foot off when needed once the mud dried a bit. There was no mud on the pedal itself but had to grind my shoe and cleat into the pedal a bit to clear out the mud from my shoe.
