What Is the Shimano PD-RS500 SPD-SL Road Pedal Best For?

The Shimano PD-RS500 is an entry-level SPD-SL road clipless pedal designed for recreational road cyclists, fitness riders, and anyone making the transition to clipless pedals for the first time. A wider platform than most entry-tier SPD-SL pedals improves stability and reduces foot fatigue on longer rides, making it a practical choice for riders who plan to spend significant time in the saddle before upgrading. The mechanism delivers the secure engagement and clean release that SPD-SL is trusted for at an approachable price point, and SM-SH11 cleats are included so it's ready to install out of the box.

Compatible with Shimano SPD-SL cleat system. SM-SH11 yellow cleats (6-degree float) included. Also compatible with SM-SH10 fixed and SM-SH12 2-degree cleats sold separately. Sold as a pair.
