Shimano PD-M520 SPD are dual-sided clipless pedals designed for mountain, gravel, touring and performance bicycles.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The compact pedal body features an open construction that helps clear mud, sand and other debris from the binding mechanism. The dual-sided SPD system allows the shoe to engage from either side, reducing the need to position the pedal before clipping in.
The pedals use a durable chromoly steel spindle and a sealed cartridge bearing axle system. Their construction is designed for regular off-road use, training and longer cycling trips.
Main Functions
The SPD mechanism creates a secure connection between the cycling shoe and pedal, supporting efficient power transfer while pedalling. Its open binding design limits dirt build-up and maintains dependable operation in demanding riding conditions.
Entry and release spring tension can be adjusted on both sides of each pedal. Lower tension makes disengagement easier, while higher tension provides a firmer connection during intensive riding.
Use and Compatibility
The pedals are compatible with cycling shoes featuring a standard two-bolt SPD cleat mounting pattern. Shimano SM-SH51 cleats are included and release by twisting the heel outwards.
The standard 9/16-inch thread fits most adult bicycle cranksets. The pedals are suitable for mountain bikes, gravel bikes, cyclocross, touring and performance-oriented urban bicycles.
Additional Features
The pedal pair weighs approximately 380 g. The sealed bearing system helps protect internal components from water and dirt while reducing routine maintenance requirements.
Shimano SM-SH56 multi-release cleats can be used when easier disengagement is preferred. Compatible reflectors can also be installed separately.
Summary
Shimano PD-M520 pedals are intended for cyclists who need a dependable and adjustable SPD pedal system. Their dual-sided entry, effective mud shedding, adjustable spring tension and included SM-SH51 cleats make them suitable for training, touring and off-road riding.
