But those are just XT pedals that say GRX. Get a sharpie, problem solved!
O they do look pretty

XTs are great. But 540s are the better value
Gravel specific pedals? I’m actually surprised it took them that long.
replace with XTR and feel extra smug
Thanks a lot. I didn’t know these existed, and now I have to go buy them.
P.S. PD-ME700 are better anyway. 🙂
Shimano out here out-jerking us all by painting the pedals a new color and calling them gravel specific. They didn’t even try to hide it in the model number- XT pedals PD-M8100…GRX are PD-M8100-UG for their United in Gravel marketing campaign.
Damnit…just take my money Shimano!!! Give me the new shiny!!
Everyone knows pd600 is the money pedal for gravel.
The true Spirit of Gravel 💰 💰 💰
And here I am running m515 on my revolt x cause they’re the same pedals as I’ve ran on my 2003 TCR1 since I got it 😂
lmao literally xt pedals
I just bought some XTs and I don’t feel cheated on at all lol. After a muddy ride you’re not gonna tell them apart anyways
Lol my 540s Look 90% the Same. I Love Shimano but thats Just taking the piss
Wow I feel so stupid now riding xts for years on gravel 😢
“the large platform”
yea just no.. my Ht T2 has a “slightly” larger platform but it has a platform at all.
i was reading the entire article and thinking to myself probably i dont understand much about this and they have something special..
then I went and read the comments 😂
If this was a serious post I would say ditch the XT Pedals and Xpedo M-Force 8’s. But since this is a joke post I won’t say that.
I still think the PD ES600 are the ideal gravel pedals.
I just fitted a new set of XT to my Checkpoint after deciding it shouldn’t share pedals with my fatbike.
While fitting them, I realised they might just outlive me.
So happy not to have had the whole ‘are cheerful graphics worth an extra $38’ discussion with myself.
I use flats
I’m gonna buy those and install it on my SRAM Force cranks. I’m a rebel. 😎
This is very unlike Shimano. Using an SPD cleat? I’d expect a new 4-bolt cleat design.
Not sure I need the fun, new graphics on my pedals, I’m quite content with my Look X-track
