Shimano SPD-SL Road Cleats

SM-SH11 YELLOW

For anyone unsure about which cleats to choose, the SM-SH11 are a great starting point. With their large float range and centered pivot point, Shimano’s Yellow SPD-SL cleats allow the toes to point in a wide range of angles and provide more room for error during set-up while still delivering an efficient connection between rider and bike. So if you're new to cycling, experience knee pain, lack flexibility, or simply don’t know where to begin, these cleats are your best bet.

Features:

• SM-SH11 Yellow SPD-SL cleats come stock with most Shimano SPD-SL pedals and are a great choice for the majority of cyclists. They feature a six-degree float range (three degrees in each direction), which allows for free movement and low joint stress while still creating a solid connection between rider and bike.
• Customizable: Seamlessly compatible with Shimano SPD-SL pedals, which allow you to adjust the spring force required to clip in and out of your pedals
• Ease of Disengagement: Feature a 13-degree clip-out angle, allowing you to quickly get out of your pedals when the time calls
• Off-Bike Friendly: Cleat size and shape provide stable walking platform and are less prone to clogging with dirt when off bike
• Built to Last: Composite construction combines injection molded main body with grip enhancing TPU tips that are durable and maintain long lasting pedal engagement

SM-SH12 BLUE

For cyclists seeking maximum power transfer but also a minimal amount of float, Shimano’s SM-SH12 Blue cleats are the answer. By placing the pivot point at the front, lateral sliding movement is eliminated. But these cleats still permit a small amount of angle change from the pivot point back towards the heel so that your foot is not completely locked in place.

Features:

• Occupying the middle-ground between Shimano’s Yellow and Red cleat options, the SM-SH12 Blue cleats have two degrees of float (one degree in each direction), allowing for a small range of movement while still delivering a high degree of pedaling efficiency.
• Customizable: Seamlessly compatible with Shimano SPD-SL pedals, which allow you to adjust the spring force required to clip in and out of your pedals
• Ease of Disengagement: Feature a 12-degree clip-out angle, allowing you to quickly get out of your pedals when the time calls
• Off-Bike Friendly: Cleat size and shape provide stable walking platform and are less prone to clogging with dirt when off bike
• Built to Last: Composite construction combines injection molded main body with grip enhancing TPU tips that are durable and maintain long lasting pedal engagement

SM-SH10 RED

The SM-SH10 cleats are the ideal choice for cyclists who demand that every ounce of their pedaling energy is converted into propulsion down the road. Featuring no float and a 100% fixed position, Shimano’s Red SPD-SL cleats deliver a tight connection between rider and bike, resulting in fully efficient power transfer that’s coveted by sprinters, professional athletes, or anyone chasing critical marginal gains on the bike. 

Features:

• Shimano’s SM-SH10 Red SPD-SL cleats have no float and are 100% fixed in position, making them ideal for sprinters, professional athletes, or any rider seeking maximally efficient power transfer above all else

• Ease of Disengagement: Feature a 12-degree clip-out angle, allowing you to quickly get out of your pedals when necessary
