Confident clip-in control for aggressive trail and enduro riding.
The Shimano Deore XT PD-M8220 Trail SPD pedals combine Shimano’s dependable dual-sided SPD engagement with the support and security of a broad, pinned platform. They are made for the steep, loose and unpredictable sections of trail where you want to stay clipped in, but still want a stable pedal beneath your shoe if you need to unclip.
A tough aluminium outer cage protects the mechanism from rock strikes, while the wide contact area and grip pattern are based on Shimano’s XTR PD-M9220 pedal. The supplied CL-MT001 Trail/Enduro cleats also make it easier to clip back in from different angles.
Clip In Quickly, Ride with Confidence
The dual-sided SPD mechanism gives you reliable engagement from either side of the pedal. Shimano’s CL-MT001 cleats are designed for easier multidirectional entry, which is useful when remounting after a dab or getting going again in a technical section.
Platform Support When Things Get Loose
The PD-M8220 has a wide pedal body for better shoe support through rough corners, landings and hard braking. Eight adjustable pins per pedal add useful grip and stability when you are not clipped in, helping the pedal feel less like a small XC mechanism and more like a proper trail platform.
Made for Proper Trail Riding
The aluminium outer cage helps protect the pedal mechanism from impacts, while Shimano’s sealed cartridge axle system is built for dependable performance in mud, dust and wet conditions. Adjustable release-spring tension lets you set the clip-out feel to suit your experience and riding style.
