Shimano SPD Cleat

These cleats are specifically engineered for the Shimano SPD pedal system. They are not compatible with SPD-SL road pedals or other non-Shimano clipless systems.

Float refers to the amount of side-to-side movement your foot has while clipped into the pedal. Four degrees allows for a small amount of natural rotation, which helps reduce strain on your knees while still providing a secure, stable connection.

The lower profile of the CL-MT001 allows the cleat to sit more flush with the sole of your cycling shoe. This reduces the 'clicking' sound on hard surfaces and makes walking off the bike feel more natural and stable.

Multi-directional entry allows you to release your foot from the pedal by moving your heel in different directions, rather than just the standard outward twist. This is particularly helpful for beginners or riders navigating technical trails who need a quick, intuitive exit.

While the heat-treated forged steel is highly durable, cleats are a wear item. You should inspect them periodically for signs of thinning or rounded edges, and replace them if you notice the engagement feels loose or inconsistent.
