• WHY With a hard look at all things metal involved in the cycling experience we took notice to the opportunity to improve on the age-old metal cleat. seemingly an afterthought this critical component goes through intense cycle and stress tests, dealing with up to 150 RPM for hours on end, and hundreds of pounds of pressure on all sides. This cleat has to be hard, exact, light and not susceptible to elements. Insert our Titanium printed and heat treated cleats.
• What RUST Ever looked at your cleats after a season and thought… I really hope I can get the cleat off without damaging my expensive shoes Worry no more with all Titanium cleats, custom T25 Titanium bolts and custom machined Titanium cleat plate.
• -Manufactured All of our SILCA Titanium cleats are proudly designed, tested, and Manufactured in our State of the art Printing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana at SILCA’s HQ.
• International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

Traditionally, mountain cleats have only had two material options. Mild steel and brass. This has largely been to ensure that the cleat wore out faster than the pedal interface, but has left us with cleats that are often times very fast wearing, and in all cases, are quite heavy. Enter 6/4 Titanium, only slightly less hard than tool or spring steel used in the pedals, it's a remarkable 2.25 times stronger and 3 times harder than brass or mild steel. Best of all, the extreme toughness and abrasion resistance of 6Al/4V titanium means that you can expect 300-400% wear life compared to traditional materials. Now we couldn't just stop there, but by combining 3D printing technology with this material that is 1/3 lighter than steel, we are able to achieve a cleat with internal lattice structure (called a gyroid) which maintains stiffness and strength while reducing weight to create a cleat set that is HALF the weight of a standard cleat set. This savings of 25-30 grams per set of cleats is significant over time, particularly in CX events where running is crucial. 25gm reduction x 100 rpm = 180kg of mass not lifted per hour of riding, 90kg per leg!
