Indeed, they are very expensive for their quality and high quality finish, and they incorporate the features of XTR model leader Shimano, being twice cheaper for just thirty grams over the pair!
I have weighed on the pair 342G (52g and the pair of SM-SH51 come with shims in the box, but you may have advantage to buy SM-SH56 wedges that are compatible if you want the easiest wedge trigger in perilous positions and angles of the ATV as 56 have a more open firing angle).
Certainly, these pedals are a bit "heavy" (everything is relative) compared to its rivals in this range but they are much more reliable and solid, so why pay more for the screw breakage, or baffle find stranded in the wild because of a left axis, all that to save a few grams? The XT have even been described as "virtually indestructible" by a famous mountain bike magazine.
The switching on and off are fluid, stability is very good, as the power transfer during pedaling, and you can adjust the trigger spring hardness according to his taste his strength and performance (this requires effective "clicks" to varying degrees of hardness with a small Allen key 3).
The only side a bit demanding, as with almost all brands, is the setting shims from the tee, new shoes, because you must adjust the position of wedges well as it should to be comfortably aligned with the axis of your leg that of the pedal: try the wedge a little forward, a little behind, leaving or returning a little heel to achieve the ideal position of each foot separately for a pleasant and efficient pedaling (but on my old pedals Crank It was the same thing) ... Once found the perfect setting, we do not touch anything!
It is the choice of reason: more upscale than the cheaper models and stronger than the more expensive models, I buy them to equip a third bike.
