What’s the difference between SPD and SPD-SL? SPD stands for Shimano Pedalling Dynamics, with the SL standing for SuperLight. SPD cleats use two bolts to fix to the shoe, so they’re often called ‘two-bolt cleats’. SPD-SL cleats have three points of attachment to the shoe, so they are also called ‘three-bolt cleats’.
