Shimano SH51 MTB SPD cleats are single-release cleats designed for use with most Shimano SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) mountain bike pedals. These cleats allow the rider to release their foot from the pedal by twisting their heel outwards.
Here’s what you should know about Shimano SH51 cleats:
- Compatibility These cleats are recommended for all MTB SPD pedals except PD M858.
- Functionality They offer a single-release mechanism, meaning you only need to twist your heel outwards to disengage from the pedal.
- Float They provide 4 degrees of float, allowing some lateral movement of the foot while clipped in. This float helps reduce stress on the knees and ankles.
- Customization These cleats allow you to micro-adjust how hard or easy it is to clip in and out, providing an unmatched level of customization.
