30 years later…Shimano reignites its pedal legacy with new Multi-entry CL-MT001 2-bolt SPD cleats.

Multi-entry engagement meets enhanced walkability with the new CL-MT001 SPD cleat.

How does the best get any better? Shimano unveils the new CL-MT001 two-bolt SPD cleat, the first major update to its SPD cleat platform in nearly 30 years. Designed for a wide range of riders from modern trail and enduro racers to everyday commuters and new riders learning to clip in and out, the CL-MT001 provides multi-directional entry for easier engagement.

Since its introduction in 1995, the SM-SH51 cleat has become the trusted choice for millions of riders around the world. With advancements in pedal and shoe technologies, as well as evolving rider demands, SHIMANO took the opportunity to rethink its pedal/cleat interface from the ground up. The result is the CL-MT001, a cleat that blends the familiar reliability of SPD with modern versatility and ease of use.

Where the original SH51 cleat requires a toe-first, single-entry approach, the CL-MT001 allows riders to engage the pedal in multiple ways That means you can clip into your pedal with the traditional front first then rear, or rear first then front, or simply stomp straight down and experience the quick and reliable connection between cleat and pedal.

This expanded engagement window is beneficial for a wide range of riders.

• Enduro riders and those who enjoy dynamic off-road conditions will appreciate the quick re-engagement that is critical after dismounts or foot dabs in technical terrain.
• Cyclocross and gravel racers will appreciate speedy remounts and their ability to quickly get back to pedaling and powering forward.
• Newer riders will also enjoy the intuitive clip-in experience with added peace-of-mind of from the multi-entry engagement so they can get on their way down the road, trail, or path.

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY BUILT IN

The new CL-MT001 cleat is fully backwards compatible with all existing two-bolt SHIMANO SPD pedal and shoe systems, allowing riders to experience improved performance and versatility without replacing their current setup.
