Shimano PD-EH500 Explorer Hybrid

The Best of Both Worlds.

Whether you're clipping in for a weekend gravel epic or hopping on your bike in sneakers to grab a brew on Geary Ave, the Shimano PD-EH500 is the ultimate versatile companion. Part of Shimano's "Explorer" series, these dual-platform pedals eliminate the need to choose between performance and convenience.

Why They’re a Shop Favorite:

• Dual-Sided Versatility: One side features a high-traction flat platform for everyday shoes, while the other features a tried-and-true SPD clip-in system for your cycling shoes.

• Light Action Binding: Specifically designed with "Light Action" tension, making it incredibly easy to clip in and out. Perfect for urban commuting or riders new to clipless systems.

• Enhanced Flat-Side Grip: Unlike older dual-sided models, the EH500 features replaceable traction pins on the flat side, providing a rock-solid, non-slip grip even in wet and muddy conditions.

• Low-Maintenance Durability: Built with a chromoly steel axle and sealed cartridge bearings, these pedals are designed to survive the grit of Toronto winters with minimal upkeep.

• Sleek Aesthetic: Finished in a modern Dark Grey/Black, they perfectly complement high-end aluminum or carbon frames without the "clunky" look of traditional trekking pedals.

Technical Specs:

• Weight: ~383g (Pair)

• Body Material: Aluminum

• Axle Material: Chromoly Steel

• Cleats Included: Shimano SM-SH56 (Multi-directional release)

• Adjustability: Fully adjustable entry and release tension

The "Boutique" Edge: We recommend these for our FiftyOne Assasin gravel builds. They allow you to use the bike as a high-performance racer on Saturday and a stylish city cruiser on Sunday without ever touching a pedal wrench.
