FAQ

What is the difference between the SM-SH10, SM-SH11, and SM-SH12 cleats?

SM-SH11 yellow cleats provide 6 degrees of rotational float, which is the most common choice for road cyclists and suits most riders well. SM-SH12 blue cleats offer 2 degrees of float for riders who prefer a more locked-in feel. SM-SH10 red cleats have zero float for riders who want a completely fixed foot position.

How is the PD-R7000 different from the PD-R8000 Ultegra pedal?

The main difference is body material and weight. The PD-R8000 uses a carbon composite body and weighs slightly less. The cleat engagement, platform geometry, and SPD-SL interface are essentially identical. For most riders the PD-R7000 delivers equivalent performance.

Are SPD-SL pedals compatible with mountain bike shoes?

SPD-SL is a road-specific 3-bolt cleat system. It requires road cycling shoes with the recessed 3-bolt cleat pattern. MTB shoes with 2-bolt SPD patterns are not compatible.
