Review on Unleash Your Off-Road Potential with the SHIMANO PD-M8120 Trail and Enduro SPD Pedal by James Hardy

These are probably the easiest clipless pedals to use. The entire Shimano SPD line is great! However, I strongly recommend using them with polygonal output tips. Especially if you are new to clipless pedaling and have a full carbon frame! I crashed too hard on my bike and the rear swingarm got a notch. Thankfully, SantaCruz offered a replacement after the accident, but it still cost me $750. Extra weight on the bike in a fall = useless. So make sure they are set up in a way that your feet can easily come out. I'd rather accidentally lose my feet than be left behind in an accident. The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that the back of one of the spike attachments broke off for some reason after only a few weeks of use. Maybe he relaxed a bit and I didn't notice? So just check all the pedal bolts for the first few months after riding.
