Shimano Bike Pedals and Cleats
SPD (Shimano Pedalling Dynamics) is the clipless pedal system that all cyclists recognise and associate with the Japanese brand. A system that allows you to pedal both with great efficiency and comfort. Shimano MTB shoes have hidden cleats, making it easier to walk when getting off the bike. When you are faced with muddy trails, which force you to get off and walk, the SPD system fully comes into effect. This is demonstrated by the fact that Shimano XT or XTR pedals are chosen by top riders for muddy cyclocross top events around the world. Shimano also make lightweight SPD road pedals with single-sided engagement and with a larger platform, for better transfer when using SPD shoes.
The most specific clipless road pedal system is the Shimano SPD-SL. These pedals have a larger platform area and single-sided engagement. The main advantage is the optimal energy transfer. This system is used with normal road shoes with very stiff soles and a specific 3-bolt cleat attachment system. On the other hand, walking will not be as comfortable as with the SPD system, but on the road you rarely get off the bike.
Shimano SPD-SLShimano Cycling Shoes
As the manufacturer of the most widely used systems for MTB and road cycling, it was logical that Shimano would develop a special collection of shoes for each cycling discipline. Always with the aim of a perfect fit to the pedal, to ensure maximum comfort and performance, as well as efficient power transfer to the pedals.
Every part of this product features technology that improves the features and performance of the Shimano MTB shoe and the Shimano road shoe: from the last, upper, midsole and outsole to the fitting system.
And for each new discipline, a new range of shoes is produced, such as the new Shimano gravel shoes. These shoes take advantage of the experience of road shoes, but with greater versatility for routes beyond the road.
Shimano BOA® Fit SystemShimano Bike Brakes
Another of the most successful product lines in the company's extensive catalogue. Shimano braking technology has been a benchmark in the cycling industry for decades. There are a multitude of components and solutions for every type of bicycle and discipline. In the case of hydraulic brakes, which always involve Shimano brake fluid (Shimano mineral oil), the systems have evolved to meet today's demanding requirements, not only for MTBs, but also for road bikes with disc brakes, cyclocross bikes, gravel bikes, etc.
Shimano disc and shoe brake pads are available in a multitude of versions depending on the model and type of compound, variables which in turn will depend on the type of bike, the terrain and the level of braking capacity required.
