Lots of news is coming from the Shimano camp this week just in time for Unbound. First, the launch of the new GRX Di2 12-speed groupset and a new set of gravel-focused wheels. Now, to keep everyone on their toes, they offer limited edition Shimano GRX pedals.All Photos: Jordan Villella/BikeRumorShimano GRX Limited Edition PedalsIf you love having everything on your bike feature the same component name, these are for you. They are strikingly similar to the bomb-proof and popular (to me, at least) Shimano Deore XT pedals.Why? Thats a good question, but reallywhy not? Shimano has the means to produce them. The new design looks cool and offers a bit of a break in the push to have a newly updated pedal every component cycle. The Shimano XT pedal is stable for gravel, CX, and MTB. Shimano feels that a limited release and a celebration of gravel were the perfect times for a limited edition design.Ifyoure new to the Shimano Deore XT pedal, let me introduce you.Its the industry standard for a reliable, race-ready pedal (IMO). The pedaling platform is solid, and the performance is unrivaled, especially in the conditions most riders experience. They shed mud well enough to be a staple at cyclocross races worldwide and are cost-effective enough for most to have the same exact pair on their pit bike.The updated design features Shimano United in Gravel graphics and the exact dimensions and performance of the Deore XT pedal.GRX PD-M8100-UG SPD Pedal DetailsShimano United in Gravel graphicsDual-Sided SPDLower platform height for pedaling stabilityWider edge-to-edge platformStep in and out consistencyOffset binding for improved mud sheddingAdjustable spring release tension for personal adjustmentWeight: 342 gramsMSRP $138.00For more information, check out:Shimano.com The post Shimano GRX Gets its Own Pedals with Limited Edition United in Gravel appeared first on Bikerumor.
