Shimano Pedal PD-ME700 (SPD)
What Is It?
The Shimano PD-ME700 is a clipless SPD mountain bike pedal designed for trail riding, gravel, and XC-style MTB use. It features a dual-sided clip-in mechanism combined with a small integrated platform (“cage”) for added stability when pedaling.
It is part of Shimano’s SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) system, which uses a 2-bolt cleat and recessed shoe design so you can still walk comfortably off the bike.
