The lightweight carbon body of these components provides a large shoe contact area to maximise power transfer and support whilst reducing weight. Their wide flat profile gives better road clearance and cornering, also allowing wider bearing placement for increased rigidity and uniform load distribution.
The Shimano R9100 Pedals provide a low profile 8.8mm body height from the axle centre to the cleat contact surface and a silky smooth 3-bearing axle system. Plus, there's a wide roller-bearing stainless steel pedal body plate for increased durability.
In addition to this, the open design of the Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 pedals allows for easy access and cleat adjustments, while their wider shoe cleat has a long life and is easier for walking than other cleats. Finally, their large binding target allows quick engagement and wide cleats provide more efficient pedalling.
