For those who take mountain riding seriously, every pedal stroke has a purpose. Every descent is a challenge. And every detail of the bike makes a difference.
Shimano knows this — and has just launched two new pedals designed for those who not only pedal... but feel the trails.
If you're the type who takes a deep breath before tackling a technical descent, who feels the ground tremble beneath your tires, if you trust your pedals to maintain control when the terrain disappears beneath you… Then these new pedals are for you.
The new SAINT PD-G8040 and DEORE XT PD-M8240 have arrived. More than just components, they provide the direct connection between you, your bike, and the trail.
When the terrain gets more aggressive, confidence isn't optional – it's everything. And that confidence starts with contact.
With over three decades of mountain biking experience, Shimano now takes pedal performance to a new level in the world of platform pedals. The result? Greater grip, more stability, and durability designed to handle every impact, every descent.
Whether it's a full day of Enduro, a few hours at the Bike Park, or that downhill ride that demands everything from you… these pedals were developed for those who want to feel every inch of the trail, without compromise.
SAINT PD-G8040 — Designed to defy gravity
If your habitat is downhill, aggressive enduro, and the most technical trails, the SAINT is your new ally.
An extra-wide, double-concave platform allows your foot to fit naturally, creating a feeling of absolute control – as if the pedal and rider were one.
Its high-traction lugs guarantee total grip even on the most unpredictable terrain, while the robust construction is designed to withstand those constant impacts, rock after rock, root after root; you don't need to think about the pedals, they simply work with you.
And because true cyclists know the importance of maintenance, these pedals are fully repairable, ready to face season after season.

DEORE XT PD-M8240 — Greater versatility for trail and enduro
For cyclists who live between technical climbs, fast descents, and long days in the mountains, the DEORE XT offers a perfect balance between performance and endurance.
The wide, concave platform ensures a predictable and secure connection, even when fatigue starts to set in. Its slim profile improves ground clearance, and its solid construction ensures consistency lap after lap.
With the DEORE XT, Shimano reinforces a simple truth: Confidence isn't an extra, it's essential.
