Shimano PD-M324 SPD/Flat Pedals

The Shimano PD-M324 pedals combine the efficiency of an SPD clip-in pedal with the convenience of a traditional flat platform, making them a versatile option for commuting, urban riding and everyday cycling.

One side features a Shimano SPD binding for compatible cycling shoes, while the other provides a flat platform that can be ridden with regular shoes.

This dual-purpose design allows you to switch between clipped-in efficiency and casual riding without changing pedals.

SPD Pedal & Flat Platform in One

The PD-M324 features an SPD clip-in mechanism on one side and a standard platform pedal on the other.

Use the SPD side with compatible two-bolt cycling shoes when you want a secure connection and efficient pedaling, or simply rotate the pedal and use the flat side with everyday footwear.

This makes the Shimano M324 particularly suitable for commuting, city riding, touring and bikes used for both recreational and everyday transport.

Adjustable SPD Entry & Release Tension

The SPD mechanism features adjustable cleat retention tension, allowing you to customize how easily your shoe engages with and releases from the pedal.

A lighter setting can make clipping in and out easier, while increased tension provides a firmer connection for riders who prefer a more secure feel.

The PD-M324 uses Shimano's proven SPD system, designed around recessed two-bolt cleats that also make compatible cycling shoes easier to walk in when off the bike.

SM-SH56 Cleats Included

The Shimano PD-M324 pedals include SM-SH56 SPD cleats, so they can be paired with compatible SPD cycling shoes without purchasing cleats separately.

Shimano also lists the SM-SH51 cleat as an optional compatible alternative.

The pedal uses a single-sided SPD binding, with the opposite side functioning as the flat platform.

Durable Sealed Bearing System

The PD-M324 uses a sealed mechanism with serviceable cup-and-cone bearings, designed for durability and straightforward long-term maintenance.

The pedals weigh approximately 533g per pair and feature a durable silver finish.

Reflectors are not included with this version of the pedal.
