Road riders clip into SPD-SL — three-bolt cleats and a wide, stable platform, from 105 and Ultegra up to Dura-Ace. Mountain, gravel and commuting call for SPD: two-bolt recessed cleats you can comfortably walk in, across XTR, XT and SLX, plus flat and dual-platform pedals for everyday riding. Pair new pedals with the rest of the Shimano range or browse all bicycle components.
Quick guide: SPD-SL = road shoes and maximum pedaling efficiency. SPD = small walkable cleats for MTB, gravel and commuting. Dual-platform (flat on one side, SPD on the other) if you switch between sneakers and cycling shoes.
Most Shimano clipless pedals ship with cleats in the box — check the What's in the Box section on each product page.
Yes — Shimano pedals use the standard 9/16" thread found on virtually all adult bikes.
SPD-SL is road-focused with a larger external cleat; SPD uses a small recessed cleat that lets you walk normally off the bike.
