Shimano SPD-SL Road Cleats

Shimano SPD-SL road pedals and cleats are the top choice for both seasoned professionals and enthusiastic cyclists, offering a stable platform, effortless operation, and unmatched durability. The wide, low-profile design ensures even force distribution and allows for easy walkability, eliminating the need for special cleat covers during your mid-ride coffee breaks.

Three Cleat Models, Endless Benefits: Our Shimano SPD-SL Road Cleats come in three distinctive colors - yellow, red, and blue - each offering unique features tailored to diverse rider biomechanics. With different float ranges and pivot points, you can now optimize your cycling experience like never before.

Understanding Cleat Float: Cleat float plays a pivotal role in your pedaling journey. It refers to the lateral foot movement while clipped in, determining how much you can point your toes left or right while secured to the pedal. The varying float levels accommodate diverse riding styles and address biomechanical concerns, such as past injuries, knee pain, or flexibility issues. Experience reduced joint stress and enhanced comfort during your pedaling motion, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride.

Red SPD-SL Cleats – 0 Degrees of Float: Ideal for sprinters, professionals, and those seeking the ultimate power transfer efficiency. Fixed in position with zero float. Precise cleat setup required for optimal performance.

Yellow SPD-SL Cleats – 6 Degrees of Float: The preferred choice for casual fitness cyclists and a wide range of athletes. Offers a generous six-degree float range (three degrees in each direction) for free movement and low joint stress. Perfect for beginners, riders with knee discomfort, and those seeking flexibility.

Blue SPD-SL Cleats – 2 Degrees of Float: Newest addition, striking a balance between yellow and red cleats. Provides two degrees of float (one degree in each direction) for efficient pedaling with a touch of movement. Eliminates lateral sliding while allowing slight angle adjustments.

Your Perfect Fit Awaits: Selecting the right SPD-SL cleats to suit your biomechanics and riding style is paramount. Seek guidance from your local bike shop or professional bike fitters to determine the ideal float for you and optimize your cleat position for a seamless ride.

Smooth Installation, Enhanced Performance: Once you have chosen your ideal cleats and determined the perfect position, installation is simple. Apply a dab of grease to the captive nuts on your shoe's base and torque the bolts to Shimano's recommended setting (5-6Nm) using a 4 mm hex bit. This ensures secure fastening without damaging your shoes or bolts.

Explore the range of float options, unleash your cycling potential, and enjoy a smooth and rewarding journey on every ride.
