Shimano SM-SH10 Cleats

The Shimano SM-SH10 cleats are designed for cyclists seeking a fixed connection between their shoes and SPD-SL pedals. Identified by their red color, these cleats offer 0 degrees of float, meaning there is no lateral movement allowed once engaged. This fixed position is favored by sprinters and professional athletes who prioritize maximum power transfer and pedaling efficiency.

Key Features:

• Fixed Position: Provides a secure and immobile connection to the pedal, ensuring efficient power transfer.
• Compatibility: Designed exclusively for Shimano SPD-SL road pedals and shoes.
• Durable Construction: Made from robust materials to withstand rigorous cycling conditions.

Considerations:

Due to the lack of float, precise cleat positioning is crucial to prevent potential knee or joint discomfort. It’s recommended for riders who have a well-established pedaling technique and are confident in their optimal cleat alignment.

For those seeking some degree of lateral movement, Shimano offers alternative cleats:

• SM-SH12 (Blue): Provides 2 degrees of float, offering a balance between stability and flexibility.
• SM-SH11 (Yellow): Offers 6 degrees of float, allowing for more movement and forgiveness in cleat positioning.
