While the original SH51 cleat requires a toe-first entry, the brand new cleat, called CL-MT001, allows the rider multiple entry options. This means that you can either clip into the pedal with the toe side first and then with the heel as usual. Or first with the heel and then with the front, or simply pedal directly downwards, et voilà the pedal and the shoe connect.

The S-Phyre RX910 shoe is also brand new. This shoe aims to combine the efficient power transmission of road bike shoes with the stability of mountain bike shoes and is therefore at home in the gravel sector. The real highlight is the new Pontoon-Cleat system: these are interchangeable plastic blocks that move with the cleat position and guarantee good power transmission and stable support at the same time - the contact between shoe and pedal is said to be better than ever before. However, the Pontoon Cleat technology is not downward compatible, so new shoes are required.
