SHIMANO PD-T421 | Hybrid pedals for everyday use, compatible with both flat and SPD shoes
Wear sneakers or SPD shoes. One pair of pedals that naturally suits commuting and cycling.
The SHIMANO PD-T421 is recommended for those who are interested in clipless pedals but also want to ride in sneakers for everyday use.
This hybrid pedal features an SPD clipless mechanism on one side and a flat pedal on the other. You can switch between them depending on the situation, using the flat side for errands or commuting and the SPD side for weekend cycling.
The clipless side uses light spring tension, making it easy to engage and disengage for first-time SPD pedal users. Additionally, the included SM-SH56 multi-release cleats support release in multiple directions, providing a sense of security during unexpected stops.
The flat side features a non-slip surface and a concave shape, providing stable footing even with sneakers. These pedals are perfect for those who want to balance daily use with sports riding.

This model is highly recommended for those trying SPD pedals for the first time.
You can use sneakers for commuting and city riding on weekdays, and SPD shoes for cycling on weekends, so there's no worry about being "stuck" with clipless pedals only.
Additionally, as is characteristic of the CLICK'R series, engagement and disengagement are light, and the included SM-SH56 cleats support release in multiple directions. This makes them easy to use even in cities with many traffic lights, and they are an excellent match for hybrid bikes, gravel bikes, and touring bikes.
This is a great pedal to try for anyone who wants to start sports riding but feels a bit intimidated by full-fledged SPD pedals.
