Shimano M540 MTB SPD pedals - two sided mechanism
Change Currency What's this?

Shimano M540

BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"Affordable, tidy looking, and reassuringly durable"

By Jo Burt

What does your extra tenner get you over the Shimano M520s?

Well, they're a wee bit lighter and everything just feels a bit better quality out the box, and there are no spanner-flats on the cro-mo spindles so they tighten onto the crank with an allen key out back, looking neater as a result. Apart from that it's more-or-less the same pedal, the same gappy mud-friendlier design, the same Shimano float and release feel. You either do or you don't really.
