Shimano PD-MT520 SPD MTB Pedals
The Shimano PD-MT520 are dual-sided clipless MTB pedals featuring Shimano's proven SPD system. The open binding design makes engagement easier, while the dual-sided mechanism means there is no need to search for the correct side of the pedal when clipping in.
Designed for demanding cycling use, the PD-MT520 combines a durable aluminium pedal body with a strong chrome-molybdenum steel spindle and a sealed bearing cartridge. The release tension can also be adjusted to suit the rider's preference.
🔄 Dual-sided SPD engagement: the SPD mechanism is located on both sides of the pedal for easier engagement.
⚙️ Adjustable release tension: the spring tension can be adjusted to customise the resistance when clipping in and out.
🛠️ Durable construction: the pedal features an aluminium body and chrome-molybdenum steel spindle.
🔩 SM-SH51 cleats included: the pedals are supplied with a pair of Shimano SM-SH51 SPD cleats.
🔄 Dual-Sided SPD Engagement
The PD-MT520 uses a dual-sided SPD binding mechanism, making it easier to engage the pedal without having to find the correct side first. This is particularly useful when riding on trails or in situations where quick and consistent engagement is important.
The open binding design also helps make engagement easier while providing a practical solution for off-road riding.
⚙️ Adjustable Release Tension
The release tension can be adjusted according to the rider's preference. This allows the resistance required to clip in and release the shoe from the pedal to be individually set.
🛠️ Durable and Low-Maintenance Design
The pedal body is made from aluminium and is combined with a chrome-molybdenum steel spindle. The sealed bearing cartridge is designed to provide smooth operation while helping reduce maintenance requirements.
🔩 Shimano SM-SH51 Cleats Included
The PD-MT520 pedals are supplied with Shimano SM-SH51 SPD cleats. The SM-SH51 are single-release-direction cleats: to release the shoe, the heel is rotated outward.
The included cleats are designed specifically for use with Shimano SPD pedal systems.
🚵 Designed for Off-Road Riding
The Shimano PD-MT520 are designed for MTB and off-road cycling, combining the practicality of a dual-sided SPD mechanism with a robust construction and adjustable release tension.
