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.

About Shimano
Shimano’s origins began in 1921 when Shimano Iron Works, the predecessor of Shimano Inc., was established by Shozaburo Shimano in Sakai city, Osaka, Japan. The first product was the bicycle freewheel, which, at that time, required the highest level of bicycle technology to produce.
By the 1950s the company was producing products such as external speed changers and internal speed changers (3-speed hub). The success of these products led to Shimano’s first overseas sales office, Shimano American Corporation (currently Shimano North America Holding, Inc.) in 1965, followed by Shimano Europe in 1973. The first overseas manufacturing base, Shimano Singapore Pte. Ltd., also opened in the same year.
In 1991, the company name became Shimano Inc. Its headquarters remain in Sakai, the city of Shimano’s birthplace. Shimano is dedicated to helping its customers get closer to nature, supporting people to realize their dreams and create new lifestyles. That comes with the desire to create outstanding cycling products and apparel.
Shimano Inc. has a wide range of functions, including planning, development, design, manufacturing, and various other support functions for supplying bicycle components as well as fishing tackle and rowing equipment.
Shimano Europe acts as the 'eyes, ears and mouth' of the global Team Shimano in Europe. Its mission is to be an excellent supplier and a valuable partner for all customers in its European markets and to create consumer demand for Shimano and Shimano-owned products.
With almost 100 years’ experience in creating internationally renowned bicycle components, Shimano is proud to have developed products that continue to take countless athletes to victory and provide the means for limitless global bicycle journeys.
