The R540 is Shimano's entry level SPD-SL pedal, but don''t let this deceive you. It is a high quality pedal for the price, featuring a cromo spindle and resin body for a combination performance and value. These are not a new generation pedal, they have been around for quite a few years while new generation pedals have been released. However Shimano continues to pump them out because of their reliability and affordability. Its key features include:
- Low-profile design moves pedal axle center closer to shoe
- SM-SH11 cleats included with non-slip rubber base
- Cleats mount with Look 3-bolt pattern
- Pedals install with 8mm hex wrench
