Every cyclist or mountain biker knows: if you take your bike on the road or in the woods, you want the material to be well organized. Obviously, this also applies to your pedals, ultimately the power that you deliver is rightly so good pedals ensure that you use your energy as efficiently as possible. There is a big difference between mountain bike pedals and road bike pedals. MTB pedals have different requirements than pedals for the road bike. With MTB pedals you have to be able to click easily, and they also have to continue to function on heavy terrain. Mud and sand must not block the system. Shimano SPD pedals The pedals that Shimano has put on the market especially for off-road cycling can be counted without exaggeration to the best that the market has to offer in this area. The SPD pedals from Shimano are


even so well known that there is consistently talk about "SPDs" in the pack, where the brand name does not even have to be mentioned anymore. With the off road pedals from Shimano it is not necessary at all, everyone, from professional to amateur, knows immediately what you are talking about when the term SPD falls. You can easily adjust the SPDs of Shimano yourself so that you decide how tightly you are locked. Time MTB pedals Time is a French bicycle brand that, in addition to cycling, has also developed various bicycle parts for cycling. An example of this are the pedals made by Time. Time has both pedals for cycling and mountain bike pedals. At Time they make use of a unique system that gives you a lot of freedom of movement in the pedal while still being attached to the pedal. This system is the Auto Tension Adjustment Concept (ATAC) and can be adjusted in three positions. SPD or Time pedals Whether you, as a mountain biker, ultimately opt for Time's pedals or Shimano pedals have a lot to do with the personal preference of you as an individual mountain biker. There are a number of differences between the two systems, although both Time and Shimano have proven for years that they deliver top products. In the field of off-road cycling (cyclocross and mountain biking) the pedals of Shimano and Time are both used by absolute world class players. The main difference between the Shimano SPD pedals and the mountain bike pedals of Time has to do with the freedom of movement you have on the pedal. With SPDs, your shoes are really stuck on the pedal. The freedom of movement is therefore zero here. Many professionals like this because no energy is lost, but all power is directly transferred to the pedal. The Time pedals give more freedom of movement, with these pedals you can move a little inwards and outwards while cycling without


clicking out of the pedal. The advantage of this is that people who are prone to knee problems will suffer less from their knees.

Note: Absolute minimum for a bicycle used even to a small extent, however, We should be ​bike gear review​ once every year because it’s good for everyone.

Note: ​ Shimano SPD is a different system than Shimano SPD-SL, this latter system is more suitable for cycling.
