Road Performance with SPD Versatility
Shimano designed the PD-ES600 as a lightweight SPD pedal for road cycling. Its wide platform offers stable support underfoot, while the recessed SPD cleat system makes it practical for gravel rides, touring and stops along the route.
Adjustable Engagement
The adjustable retention mechanism lets riders set their preferred engagement and release tension.
Unlike dual-sided SPD pedals, the PD-ES600 engages on one side only.
Shoe and Cleat Compatibility
The PD-ES600 works with Shimano SPD two-bolt cleats and compatible cycling shoes. A pair of SM-SH51 cleats is included.
These pedals are not compatible with Shimano SPD-SL three-bolt road cleats.
