Ryder Pedal Speed-Sl Road

R 985.00
SKU: RD10067
by Ryder
Type: Pedals

???? Product type

A road bike clipless pedal system (SPD-SL compatible) designed for efficient power transfer when riding with cycling shoes.


???? Feature breakdown

???? High-strength nylon body

  • Lightweight plastic/composite construction
  • Keeps weight down while still being strong enough for road use
    ???? More budget-friendly than carbon pedals, but still durable

???? Shimano SPD-SL cleat compatible

  • Works with 3-bolt road cleats (SPD-SL system)
  • Designed for road cycling shoes (not MTB SPD shoes)
  • Very stable platform for power transfer

???? Important: this is a road-specific system, not the walkable MTB style.


⚙️ CNC machined CR-MO axle

  • Chromoly steel axle machined for precision
  • Strong and resistant to bending under load
    ???? Good durability for sprinting and long rides

???? Needle + sealed bearing system

  • Combination of:
    • Needle bearing (load distribution)
    • Sealed cartridge bearing (smooth spin + protection from dirt/water)
      ???? Means smoother pedaling and less maintenance

⚖️ Weight: 275g per pair

  • Very light for SPD-SL compatible pedals
  • Comparable to mid-range Shimano road pedals (some are ~224–243g but in higher-end carbon models)

???? This is solid “budget performance” territory.


???? Pros

  • Lightweight for road cycling
  • Efficient power transfer (SPD-SL system is built for it)
  • Durable axle + decent bearing setup
  • More affordable than Shimano/Fizik equivalents
  • Good entry point into clipless road riding

⚠️ Cons

  • Nylon body is less premium than carbon pedals
  • Not as refined or long-lasting as Shimano 105/Ultegra/Dura-Ace
  • SPD-SL cleats are not walk-friendly
  • Requires cycling shoes (no casual footwear use)

???? Bottom line

This is a budget-to-mid range road clipless pedal aimed at riders who want:

  • Efficient pedaling ✔️
  • Light weight ✔️
  • SPD-SL performance without premium pricing ✔️
