Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Cleat Set | Multi-Release | 2-Bolt | Pair
Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Cleat Set | Multi-Release | 2-Bolt | Pair
Confidence-inspiring clipless performance with easier multi-directional release.
The Shimano SM-SH56 SPD Cleat Set is designed for riders who want the efficiency of clipless pedals with easier, more forgiving disengagement. Unlike the standard SM-SH51 cleats, the SM-SH56 features a multi-release mechanism that allows you to unclip by twisting your heel in multiple directions, making them an excellent choice for newer clipless riders, commuters, fitness cyclists, and anyone who prefers a more forgiving release.
Compatible with nearly every Shimano SPD pedal system, these genuine Shimano replacement cleats provide smooth engagement, dependable retention, and increased confidence when stopping, starting, or navigating technical situations. They fit all standard 2-bolt SPD cycling shoes used for mountain biking, gravel riding, commuting, touring, indoor cycling, and recreational riding.
This package includes one pair of genuine Shimano cleats. Cleat mounting nuts are not included.
