Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Set

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.

- Shimano’s newest cleat option – a middle-ground between yellow (SM-SH11) and blue (SM-SH12)
- Allows for a small range of movement while still delivering a high amount of pedaling efficiency
- Float’s Pivot point is at the front of the cleat, eliminating lateral sliding movement while allowing a small amount of angle change from the pivot point back towards the heel
