Shimano releases new pedal and cleat system in first shift from SPD-SL in 20 years

Shimano has officially unveiled a trio of new products that affect the way cyclists clip into their pedals. This release marks the company's first move away from SPD-SL road cleats since their invention in 2003.

The new product lineup comprises new pedals at both the Dura-Ace and Ultegra levels. Additionally, Shimano has introduced new cleats available in four distinct guises.

Alongside the new pedals and cleats, the update extends to the brand's top-tier S-Phyre shoes. Coverage of these latest technology developments is reported by Josh, Associate Editor at Cyclingnews.
