Whilst Shimano\u2019s SPD system is a household name when it comes to clip-in pedals, the company\u2019s flat pedals are also widely recognized for their market-leading quality. Now two new flat pedals broaden Shimano\u2019s appeal for consumers looking for trusted reliability at an affordable, entry level price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attractive new PD-EF205 and PD-EF202 pedals weigh in at 612g and 512g respectively with a thin profile, wide pedal-to-shoe connection and are available in a range of colours to create an attractive upgrade option for MTBs, Trekking and Commuting bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both pedals have a large concave platform to create a wide contact patch with shoes and to create a stable pedaling platform. The new PD-EF205 has a closed aluminium body with a resin friction plate to create a stable platform for Trekking and Urban riding with formal shoes. On the other hand PD-EF202, with its open muck-shedding design, is intended more for e-MTB usage with casual or sports shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
