Shimano releases limited edition GRX Pedals

With the GRX pedals, gravel riders will enjoy the same unrivaled performance and reliability as Shimano’s popular DEORE XT pedals, but with fun, new United in Gravel graphics.

The GRX dual-sided SPD pedals feature a wide edge-to-edge platform and lower platform height for exceptional stability on rough and rolling terrain. The large platform will keep a rider’s feet planted and well-supported on the pedals for a more comfortable and confident ride during the longest, or most rugged gravel adventures.

When it comes to mud-shedding, the GRX pedals are constructed with an offset binding, which helps clear mud so riders can easily clip in and out even after hiking through ankle-deep mud for miles on end. Cyclocross racers and mountain bike riders have long relied on the SPD pedal’s mud-shedding capabilities at World Cup races and through the most extreme off-road conditions. Gravel riders appreciate this same performance during events with unpredictable or muddy course conditions.

Shimano’s robust SPD retention system keeps rider’s feet connected to the pedals during the hardest efforts, while providing smooth entry and release for confidence and control out on the gravel road. Like all Shimano SPD pedals, the limited edition GRX pedals feature spring tension adjustments so riders can fine-tune their connection with the bike.
