For our latest BikeRadar Battle, we have two extremely popular clipless mountain bike pedal models of the same brand up against each other. Clearly Shimano has designed its SPD pedals to meet a wide audience, and there is always going to be some overlap in users of the Race and Trail options.
Such a choice depends on your riding style and preference, but which should you choose? Having spent the past six months swapping between the two (and many years on previous versions), BikeRadar is here to help.
This test should also prove helpful for those looking to buy other grades of Shimano SPD pedals, whether that's deciding between the M520 versus the M530, or XTR’s M9000 Race or M9020 Trail pedals.
