Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 Pedals

Dura-Ace Series

Underfoot, the new pedal is indistinguishable from its heavier aluminum counterpart. Clipping in requires the usual firm, but not aggressive, push and you're rewarded with an audible and comforting 'click' when you're properly attached. Unless your cleat is clogged with unknown substance, engagement is smooth and easy, with the big platform offering up a quick, no-look target for your foot.

Once you manage to clip in, a massive 64mm-wide replaceable stainless steel plate gives superb support for your foot without even the slightest hint of slipping. The plate provides a smooth surface on which the included six-degree cleats can float to help save your knees but with the slightest resistance to prevent that 'walking on ice' feeling.

Release is as simple and straightforward as always, just twist in or out, and the tension adjustment offers an impressively broad range. New riders might find the lower limit to still be a tad firm but sprinters should be plenty happy with the other end of the spectrum.
