Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Set SM-SH11 – Yellow 6° Float
The Shimano SPD-SL Cleat Set SM-SH11 is designed for road cyclists who want a secure pedal connection with a comfortable degree of rotational movement. Developed for use with Shimano SPD-SL road pedals, the SM-SH11 is one of Shimano’s most popular cleat options thanks to its 6° float, durable nylon resin construction, and reliable engagement.
6° Float for Natural Foot Movement
The yellow SM-SH11 cleats provide approximately 6 degrees of rotational float, allowing the foot to move slightly while remaining securely clipped into the pedal.
This controlled movement helps riders maintain a more natural pedaling position and is especially suitable for cyclists who prefer some flexibility rather than a completely fixed cleat position. It makes the SM-SH11 a practical choice for training, endurance rides, recreational cycling, and everyday road riding.
Designed for Shimano SPD-SL Pedals
The cleats are specifically designed for compatibility with Shimano SPD-SL pedal systems, providing dependable engagement and release when correctly installed and adjusted.
They are suitable for road cycling shoes with a standard 3-bolt cleat mounting pattern, making them compatible with a wide range of road cycling footwear.
Durable Nylon Resin Construction
Manufactured from strong nylon resin, the Shimano SM-SH11 cleats are designed to handle regular clipping, unclipping, and pedaling stresses.
The durable material helps provide consistent performance during training sessions, long-distance rides, racing, and general road cycling use.
Non-Slip Rubber Contact Areas
Walking in road cycling cleats can often be difficult, which is why the SM-SH11 includes non-slip rubber contact sections.
These rubber areas help improve traction when walking short distances off the bike, such as around parking areas, cafés, race venues, or cycling events.
Secure Pedal Engagement
Correct cleat condition is important for maintaining smooth clipping performance and predictable pedal release. Worn cleats can affect engagement and may reduce riding confidence.
Replacing old or damaged cleats with Shimano SM-SH11 helps maintain a secure and consistent connection between your cycling shoes and SPD-SL pedals.
Easy Replacement and Installation
The cleat set includes the required mounting hardware, allowing riders to install the cleats onto compatible road cycling shoes.
For best performance, cleat position should be adjusted according to the rider’s preferred foot alignment and riding position. Proper alignment can help improve comfort and pedaling efficiency.
Easy Identification
Shimano uses a color-coded system for SPD-SL cleats. The yellow color of the SM-SH11 clearly identifies it as the version offering 6° of float, making it easy to select the correct replacement when servicing your cycling shoes.
