Shimano Deore XT | PD-M8240 Trail/Enduro Flat Pedals

The PD-M8240 replaces the older M8140, significantly increasing the surface area to match the new Saint. The key innovation for 2026 is the Consistent Stack Height: Shimano has eliminated the "bearing bulge" near the crank arm. By using a new internal bushing and bearing arrangement, the pedal is a uniform 13.3mm thick across the entire width, providing a much more stable interface for modern, wide-soled flat shoes.

Comparison: XT (M8240) vs. Saint (G8040)

Weight: Interestingly, the XT is heavier (423g vs 393g for the Saint). This is because the Saint uses lighter resin skid plates, while the XT uses a solid aluminium structure.
Thickness: The Saint is slightly slimmer at $11.6 ext{mm}$, whereas the XT is $13.3 ext{mm}$. If you prioritise the lowest possible stack height, the Saint is the winner.
Durability: While both are incredibly tough, the XT is the "buy-it-and-forget-it" option. Without the resin plates to worry about, it's a simple, rugged alloy block that can take years of abuse in the worst conditions.

EVO's Opinion:

"The Shimano Deore XT PD-M8240 (launched alongside the Saint G8040 in 2026) is the "all-mountain" sibling to the new Saint. While it shares the same massive platform and dual-concavity, it swaps the Saint's resin skid plates for a full forged-alloy body.

This is the definitive choice for enduro and trail riders who want the largest possible platform with the classic "bombproof" XT aluminium finish."

THE DETAIL

Extra-Wide Platform: At 121 x 110mm, this is one of the largest pedals on the market. It is designed specifically to support shoes from size EU 43 to 48, preventing that "rolling" feeling on the outer edge of the foot.
Dual-Concave Profile: The body is recessed 8.95mm at the centre relative to the edges. This "cradles" the ball of your foot, providing mechanical grip even before the pins bite into the rubber.
12 Traction Pins: Features 10 pins around the perimeter and 2 optional inner pins. Like the Saint, these ship with both 6mm (Long) and 3mm (Short) pins, plus a dedicated E5 socket wrench for setup.
Chrome-Moly Axle: Uses an oversized, high-strength axle with a refined bushing system that is fully serviceable with standard Shimano tools.
Mud-Shedding Design: The open-body chassis is wider than previous generations, allowing mud and debris to fall through more easily—a major benefit for UK winter trail riding.
Stealth Black Finish: Features a durable, anodised black finish with laser-etched XT branding that resists "crank rub" better than previous painted versions.
UK Pricing: Retails for approximately £129.99, offering a more accessible entry point to Shimano's premium flat pedal range than the Saint.
Reinforced Alloy Body: The forged body features a slimmer leading edge to help deflect rock strikes, though it lacks the specific resin "glide" plates found on the Saint model.
