Shimano XT PD-M8100 XC Pedal

Arguably not worth the price bump from the 540 or even 520 spd pedals, but when they're on sale, they're a no brainer. Bought my second pair with my first pair being 4 years old and still solid, being put on my sons bike. If paying full price, go for the 540 or 520's, but if on sale, grab the XTs.

I have 2 other sets on different bikes and all work amazingly well easy to clip in & out plus the foot platform seems larger with good stability very happy with the purchase

Love Shimano products, pedals and shoes for my road and gravel bikes. Solid performance and no issues... They last and re worth every dime....

I have been using these pedals for 2 years and race and train with them on my CX and fat bikes. These are solid and reliable. For racing they clear muddirt very well. For riding in the snow recommend spraying the cleats and pedals with cooking oil to prevent the snow from sticking.

I run these on my road bike and the build quality and smooth rotation is what I have come to expect from Shimano. This is the third or fourth time I have purchased these pedals for my road, tandem and mountain bikes.

I have these pedals on my gravel bike.

Great value and great preforming pedals. Solid platform and engagement

I use these pedals on a road bike because I like to be able to walk easily in my cycling shoes. These pedals are great looking and so far function very well. I have high hopes because my old Shimano SPDs have given me 21,000 miles of service and the only complaint I could have is that my sweat drops make them rust. The 8000's have the appearance of being stainless so I hope the rust will not be a problem.

As expected - great pedals! Have them on all of my MTB bikes. Durable, perform great, and I've never had an issue.

Have a set on my road bike that are 4 yrs old which have worked flawlessly. Bought these for my gravel bike and they seem bulletproof as well.

It's exactly what you'd expect from Shimano. The spd pedal holds up to all sorts of abuse.

excellent pedal, I used it on my PRO GR Lynskey Gravel Bike

bought these for my new gravel bike and going from road pedals to gravel I knew I wanted a double sided clip. I watch a lot of youtube cyclist and gravel pro's and notice these pedals on their bikes, and these were not promoted as a paid endorsement- that tells me they just work well- and they do. I never need to look down when clipping in and double sided is so functional. I have about 350 miles on them now and have never have a problem with mud or dirt.

the 8100 SPD pedals perform well, release consistently & shed mud/crud - and yet somehow they can take rock hits, corners and still keep working

Shimano XT pedals are the best deal for your money and they last forever. Don't waste your money on xtr.

Bought these for my new gravel bike. I was curious if I would see any difference from the PD-M540 I usually use and am quite satisfied with. They perform very well as expected but can't say I notice any improvement over the 540s. If you're a weight freak, go ahead and spend the extra $, you won't be disappointed. I don't do the type of riding where I could tell if there is enhanced mud shedding.

Using on my gravel bike with no complaints. Engages easily now with my gravel shoes (was a little tricky using an SPD cleat on a road shoe).

Smooth operation on my gravel race bike. Easy to clip in and out and only nominally heavier than the XTR version. No experience with mud here in the high desert of New Mexico but work fine in our dusty conditions. Highly recommend.

Love these pedals I currently have them on a fat bike, two mountain bikes, and my cyclocross bike

tough, versatile, easy to maintain

use for MTB and cyclocross
