The pedals ship with \u003cstrong\u003eSM-SH51 single-release cleats\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provide 4° of float for natural ankle movement through the pedal stroke. If you prefer a more forgiving exit, they're also compatible with SM-SH56 multi-release cleats, which allow disengagement from multiple angles — useful on steep or unpredictable terrain.
