Shimano Deore XT PD-T8000 Trekking Pedals
What Is It?
The Shimano Deore XT PD-T8000 is a dual-platform trekking pedal that combines an SPD clip-in mechanism on one side with a flat platform on the other. This makes it suitable for riders who want the efficiency of clipless pedals for longer rides but also want to use normal shoes for commuting or casual cycling.
