Shimano SPD-SLR Road Cleats (2°) (CL-SL120) (Blue)

Shimano SPD-SLR Road Cleats Description:

The Shimano SPD-SLR Road Cleats are compatible with Shimano SPD-SLR road pedals, and are available with multiple float options, all working within within the SPD-SLR pedal and shoe eco-system to deliver a complete system that connects riders to their bike while improving stability, efficiency, and confidence. Its lower-profile design creates a stable, seamless connection with SPD-SLR pedals while improving walkability and pedal entry.

Features:

• Compatible with SPD-SLR road pedals
• SPD-SLR pedal interface reduces stack height, closing the gap between foot and pedal axle by 2.3mm
• Immediate engagement is accomplished by a redesigned 10.5° angle of engagement
• Cleat design reduces weight over SPD-SL predecessors by 25%
• Grey, CL-SL130 cleats extend compatibility to non-Shimano shoes and older Shimano shoe models
• Includes two cleats along with mounting hardware

How To Choose SPD-SLR Cleats:

• Yellow – 6° Float
• If this is your first pair of cleats, we recommend the 6° float cleat
• 6° float cleats are also great for athletes who experience knee pain or lack flexibility
• The 6° float cleat allows for more lateral movement which makes it easier to pedal in a natural manner
• While this cleat is recommended as a starting point for new cyclists, many experienced cyclists still opt to use the yellow cleat
• Blue – 2° Float
• A compromise between yellow and red 
• Provides a small range of movement while still delivering a high amount of pedaling efficiency
• Still requires an optimal cleat position
• Red – 0° Float
• Great for sprinters, professional cyclists, and anyone looking for the most efficient power transfer possible
• Fully fixed position with no float
• Requires precise cleat position and fitting. We recommend seeing a professional bike fitter to help dial-in your position with these cleats
• Not a good choice for riders who are prone to knee pain
• Grey – 6° Float
• Offers 6° (three degrees in each direction), enabling free movement while retaining a solid rider connection
• Provides classic SPD-SL fore-aft positioning for non-Shimano shoes and legacy road models
• The 6° float cleat allows for more lateral movement, which makes it easier to pedal in a natural manner
• While this cleat is recommended as a starting point for new cyclists, many experienced cyclists still opt to use the yellow cleat

Pro Tip: Apply a little bit of threadlocker to each of the bolts to prevent cleats from coming loose.
