The already legendary and absolutely indestructible XT pedal has received a 3.3 mm larger contact area, bringing the rider 0.5 mm closer to the axle. While these may seem like minimal changes, they significantly enhance both pedaling efficiency and stability. Combined with Shimano's typically high bearing quality, the new Shimano XT PD-M8120 presents itself as an excellent pedal for all trail bikers, all-mountain enthusiasts, and enduro racers.
