What Is It
The Ryder SPD XC Pro 2.0 is a clipless mountain bike pedal that uses the Shimano SPD system (the most common MTB clip-in standard).
It’s designed for XC, trail, gravel, and general off-road riding, offering a balance of secure foot engagement, efficiency, and durability without the high cost of premium race pedals.
“2.0” typically indicates an updated version with improved sealing, smoother entry/exit feel, and refined body design compared to earlier XC Pro models.
Key Features
- Dual-sided SPD entry for fast clipping in both sides
- Shimano SPD compatible cleat system (widely supported standard)
- Lightweight alloy pedal body
- Adjustable spring tension (tune how easy it is to clip out)
- Sealed bearings for durability and low maintenance
- Cro-mo steel axle for strength
- Supplied with SPD-compatible cleats included (in most kits)
