Overview

Are Brass Cleats Worth It for Off-Road Riding?

The Crankbrothers Premium Ultra Durable Brass Cleat is the upgrade riders reach for when standard cleats wear out too fast. Machined from ultra-durable brass, these cleats last significantly longer than the plastic versions that ship stock with most Crankbrothers pedals, making them a smart investment for high-mileage riders who are tired of replacing worn cleats mid-season. The 6-degree float gives your knee natural lateral movement throughout the pedal stroke, reducing joint stress on long efforts.

Compatible with all Crankbrothers pedals, these cleats feature 2.2mm of left/right adjustment to fine-tune foot position for optimal power transfer and comfort. The brass construction also delivers a more consistent engagement feel over thousands of miles compared to plastic alternatives. If you run Crankbrothers pedals across multiple bikes, a set of these covers you for a full season without worrying about cleat condition going into a big race or event.
