The Shimano SM-SH11 is a pair of yellow SPD-SL shoe cleats designed for road cycling shoes with a three-bolt mounting pattern and compatible Shimano SPD-SL pedals.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The wide, low-profile cleats provide a stable connection between the cycling shoe and pedal while distributing pedalling pressure across a broad contact area. Their yellow colour identifies the version with 6 degrees of rotational float.
Main Functions
The self-aligning design allows approximately 3 degrees of heel movement in either direction from the central position. This float lets the foot move more naturally during the pedal stroke instead of remaining completely fixed.
Use and Compatibility
The cleats are intended for SPD-SL road cycling shoes with a three-bolt mounting system and compatible Shimano SPD-SL pedals. They are not interchangeable with two-bolt SPD cleats commonly used on mountain bike and trekking shoes.
Additional Features
The set includes one pair of cleats, six M5 × 8 mm fixing bolts and matching washers. Cleat position can be adjusted forwards, backwards and sideways to set the rider’s foot position over the pedal.
Summary
The Shimano SM-SH11 cleats are intended for road cyclists who want secure pedal engagement with a moderate amount of foot movement. Their 6-degree float, broad support platform and included M5 × 8 mm mounting hardware make them suitable for training, longer rides and everyday performance cycling.
