Shimano cleats SM-SH71 for MTB clipless pedals

Shimano SM-SH71 MTB pedal cleats: reliable SPD cleats for off-road cycling

The Shimano SM-SH71 MTB pedal cleats are designed for cyclists looking for an efficient connection between their cycling shoes and Shimano SPD-compatible MTB clipless pedals. Available as new items from a clearance stock, these cleats are an excellent opportunity to equip or replace your existing setup with a reliable and compatible Shimano component.

Made from corrosion-resistant treated steel, the Shimano SM-SH71 cleats provide excellent durability and resistance to the conditions commonly encountered during mountain biking: mud, moisture, water splashes, and regular off-road use. They ensure an optimal connection between the shoe and pedal, helping improve pedalling efficiency and bike control.

Compatible with the Shimano SPD standard

The Shimano SM-SH71 cleats use the well-known SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) standard, which is widely used in MTB, touring, and recreational cycling. This system is appreciated by cyclists for its reliability, ease of use, and ability to provide secure foot retention while still allowing quick and easy disengagement when needed.

These cleats are designed for riders using Shimano SPD MTB clipless pedals and other compatible SPD pedal systems. They provide a precise interface between SPD cycling shoes and automatic pedals, allowing efficient power transfer throughout the pedal stroke.

The SPD system is particularly suitable for riders looking for the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Whether you are riding for leisure, enjoying sporty trail rides, or training regularly, having high-quality cleats is essential to maintain smooth and reliable pedal operation.

Durable corrosion-resistant steel construction

Durability is a key factor for components exposed to demanding MTB conditions. The Shimano SM-SH71 cleats are manufactured from steel with a protective treatment designed to reduce the effects of corrosion.

This construction allows them to better withstand challenging riding environments, including:

• muddy trails and wet conditions;

• water and dirt exposure during rainy rides;

• repeated engagement and release from the pedal mechanism;

• intensive use over many kilometres.

Worn or damaged cleats can lead to poor engagement, excessive play, or reduced confidence when clipping in and out. Replacing old cleats with a new pair helps restore smooth operation, improved reliability, and a more secure connection between rider and bike.

New cleats supplied with mounting screws included

These Shimano SM-SH71 MTB pedal cleats are supplied as new and include the required mounting screws. You receive everything needed to replace your existing cleats on compatible SPD cycling shoes.

Installation is straightforward: simply position the cleat underneath the shoe, adjust its placement according to your preferred riding position, and tighten the screws securely. Correct adjustment helps improve comfort and provides a more natural pedalling position.

For regular cyclists, checking cleat condition is important to prevent reduced performance or unpredictable release from the pedal. A new set of cleats is an affordable way to maintain your shoes and clipless pedal system in excellent working condition.
