Shimano DX M647 Pedals
The Shimano DX SPD Pedals utilise the same high-quality bearings as used in the Deore XT pedals, along with the addition of a high-strength resin cage that surrounds the pedal that makes it more suitable for riders looking for a little extra platform underneath their shoe. Shimano mountain bike pedals have earned an enviable reputation over the years for providing durability, strength and no-nonsense performance for mountain bikers all over the world. With Shimano SPD pedals, you get quality bearings that are easy to service, adjustable spring tension so you can set them up as stiff or as soft as you like and one of the most refined platforms that just seems to work with all the SPD shoes on the market.
 

Big Platform, Big Stability

The Shimano DX SPD Pedals continue the Shimano legacy of providing maximum durability at a lightweight and accessible level. Take a look at any state downhill race, or the local trail head and take note of how many riders choose DX to rely on when they're smashing down a black diamond run through pedal-eating rock gardens. For the trail rider, you get extra support around your shoe that gives you confidence to put your foot down through the rough stuff, knowing that you don't have to be clipped in to have the stability. For Downhill riders, the switch to clipless gives you more power and efficiency in your pedalling, as well as added security when the bike is airborn, knowing that your pedals aren't going to slip away from you. In terms of quality, the M647 pedals utilise Deore XT internals with a forged Cro-moly spindle for strength and lateral stability, and like the XT's you get adjustable spring tension for fine-tuning the engagement feel. The polycarbonate cage that surrounds the pedal body is made from a high-strength material designed to withstand repeated pedal strikes, and the smooth surface tends to skip over rocks rather than digging in like a metal cage would. 

If you find the platform offered by regular pedals feels a little diminutive and you could do with more stability, or you're looking to try clipless pedals on your DH race bike, the Shimano M647's give you a quality option that is packed with Shimano functionality and reliability.
