Shimano MTB Cleat Set SM-SH56 SPD (Multi Direction)

Shimano cleats SM-SH56 with multi release - Fits all Shimano SPD pedals except PD-M858.

Exiting the pedal is possible not only by twisting the foot to the left or right, but also by pulling it off to the top.

The Shimano SM-SH56 SPD MTB Cleat Set is designed for riders who want easy engagement and effortless release from their SPD pedals. Built for mountain biking, commuting, touring, and recreational cycling, these cleats provide reliable pedal connection while allowing smooth multi-directional release for improved safety and comfort. Unlike standard single-release cleats, the SM-SH56 allows riders to disengage the pedal not only by twisting the heel sideways but also by lifting the foot upward. This makes them an excellent choice for beginners and riders who prefer a more forgiving pedal system. Made with durable steel construction, these cleats ensure long-lasting performance even in demanding riding conditions. Compatible with most Shimano SPD pedal systems and SPD cycling shoes, the SM-SH56 cleat set is a practical and dependable upgrade for cyclists seeking convenience, control, and confidence on every ride.
