I purchased these to replace a set of XT's. Marginal weight difference but much more cost effective.

Shimano M540 SPD Mountain Bike Pedals - Black
Combining a simple efficient design with highly durable components, the Shimano M540 SPD Mountain Bike Pedals are compatible with any two-bolt mountain bike shoe and offer double-sided cleat entry and a stable platform for the off-road rider.
Benefitting from a mud repelling design and cleat tension adjustment via a screw, the M540 is a durable pedal that features sealed bearing cartridges. Making use of a Cro-Mo steel spindle, a pair weighs just 352 grams in total, making these a fairly lightweight, heavy-duty pedal system for everyday use.

About Shimano
Shifting the way the world rides.
From a single Osaka workshop in 1921, Shimano has grown into the world's most influential component maker. The brand's relentless engineering — Dura-Ace, Ultegra, GRX, XTR — has shaped the way the world shifts, brakes and rides, on the road and off it.
Shimano's flagship groupset, Dura-Ace, has been the benchmark for top-level road components for more than five decades. Every refinement that lands on Dura-Ace eventually shapes the entire Shimano range, all the way down to entry-level drivetrains.
