Shimano PD-EH500 – Explorer Dual-Platform Pedals

One Pedal, No Limits: From Urban Commuting to Gravel Trails

The Shimano PD-EH500 is the modern evolution of the multi-purpose pedal. Designed for the "Explorer" spirit, these pedals offer a sophisticated dual-sided design that bridges the gap between high-performance cycling and casual riding. Whether you are clipping in for a weekend gravel adventure or using flat shoes for a quick trip to the office, the EH500 delivers confidence and control.

Unlike older hybrid models, the EH500 features a high-grip flat side with replaceable traction pins, providing the security of a dedicated MTB flat pedal when you aren't clipped in.

Key Features

• Dual-Sided Versatility: One side features a Light Action SPD binding for easy clipping, while the other side offers a concave flat platform.

• Enhanced Flat Grip: The flat side is equipped with 16 replaceable pins (8 per pedal), ensuring your foot stays planted even in wet or muddy conditions.

• Light Action Binding: Optimized for frequent entry and exit; the spring tension is lighter than standard SPD pedals, making them ideal for beginners or city traffic.

• Low Maintenance: Built with a chrome-moly spindle and sealed cartridge bearings for the legendary "fit-and-forget" Shimano durability.

• Urban & Gravel Aesthetics: A sleek, dark grey finish that perfectly complements modern Gravel bikes, E-bikes, and high-end commuters.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose EH500 over M324?

The PD-EH500 is significantly lighter (383g vs 533g) and offers much better grip on the flat side thanks to the removable pins. If you ride a Gravel bike or a modern E-bike, the EH500 offers a lower profile and a more contemporary look.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Are cleats included?

  Yes! Shimano includes the SM-SH56 multi-directional release cleats, which are the easiest to use for those new to clipless systems.

• Do I have to install the pins?

  The pedals come with the pins in a separate bag. You can choose to install them for maximum grip or leave them off if you prefer a smoother platform for casual shoes.

• Can I use them for off-road riding?

  Absolutely. They are perfect for light MTB and Gravel use, especially on technical sections where you might want to unclip and use the flat side for extra security.
