Shimano SPD Cleat Set - Mountain Bike Cleats

The Shimano MTB SPD Cleat Set includes two SPD-compatible cleats and mounting hardware for mountain bike shoes. Designed for use with Shimano SPD pedal systems, the cleats feature a standard two-bolt interface for secure installation. Built for durability, they offer consistent engagement and release when riding off-road or on mixed terrain.

SH51 vs. SH56: SH51 offers single-direction release (heel out) for more security, ideal for experienced riders, while SH56 provides multi-directional release (heel out, in, or even slightly up), making it much easier for beginners or those wanting quicker, less effort-based un-clipping in varied situations like traffic or tricky terrain. Both work with all standard SPD pedals, but SH51 feels more solid, while SH56 offers forgiveness for quick stops.
