Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD Road Bike Pedals with SH-51 Cleats Feature

• Road pedals with SPD bindings for proven performance
• Extra-wide pedal platform for efficient power transfer
• Low-maintenance sealed-cartridge axle unit
• Adjustable cleat tension with indicators
• Recessed SPD design is ideal for walking around

Shimano's recessed cleat and clipless pedal technology, called SPD, revolutionized the cycling shoe/pedal interface. Since then, decades of legendary "in the dirt" dependability, reliability, and sheer endurance have made SPD the world's go-to pedal technology. The Shimano PD-A600 Ultegra SPD pedal continues the SPD tradition, combining the weight and stiffness of a road racing pedal with the recessed SPD cleat of a mountain pedal. As a result, the lightweight PD-A600 pedal is an excellent choice for riders who don't spend all their time on the bike. The pedal offers such details as an extra-wide platform that efficiently transfers power from foot to pedal, a low-maintenance sealed cartridge axle unit, and adjustable cleat tension with indicators.

About Shimano
In 1961, a three-speed bicycle hub was displayed at the New York Toy Show. The hub--an affordable and reliable version of the multi-speed hubs growing in popularity at the time--caught the attention of the industry. So much so that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano--the youngest son of the company founder in Japan--opened an office in New York. Shimano's goal was to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts. Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, its goals are the same: listen to customers and meet their needs for both bicycle and fishing products. The Shimano A600 is the lightest SPD pedal available. With the weight and stiffness of a road racing pedal and the convenient recessed SPD cleat of a mountain pedal, the A600 is an excellent choice for riders that aren't always on the bike.
