Shimano R550G Pedals

The Shimano R550G pedals are clipless pedals with the SPD-SL system, designed for road bikes. The body is plastic, the axle is chrome-molybdenum steel and the stated weight is 310 g per pair. The mechanism is sealed, and the adjustable release, with a 32° angle, lets you set the tension to suit your pedalling.

SM-SH11 cleats are included, while SM-SH10 and SM-SH12 cleats are optional: check that you have the correct replacement before fitting the pedals. They are suitable for riders looking for a SPD-SL pedal for road bikes; if you need them for a different use, compare the engagement system before buying.

Founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano, Shimano is still based in the same city today. For cyclists, it makes drivetrains, brakes, wheels, pedals and cycling shoes. Its history in bicycle components began with the production of freewheels in 1922.
