Which SPD-SLR cleat should I choose?

Shimano colour-codes them by float. Red CL-SL100 is fixed (0°), for sprinters or anyone who wants maximum power transfer above all. Blue CL-SL120 has 2° (±1°), a middle ground. Yellow CL-SL110 has 6° (±3°), comes with the pedals and is Shimano’s pick for most cyclists. Grey CL-SL130 also has 6° (±3°) but is made for non-Shimano and older Shimano shoes. Retailers that quote the yellow cleat as 3° are giving the per-side figure.

Do SPD-SLR cleats fit my SPD-SL pedals?

No. The CL-SL100, CL-SL110, CL-SL120 and CL-SL130 cleats only work with SPD-SLR pedals (PD-R9300, PD-R8200). Shimano lists them as not compatible with SPD-SL pedals such as the PD-R9100, PD-R8000 or PD-R7000. For those pedals you still need SM-SH10, SM-SH11 or SM-SH12 cleats.

Can I use my current road shoes with SPD-SLR pedals?

Yes, with SPD-SLR cleats. Shimano says most 3-bolt road shoes fit. On non-Shimano shoes and older Shimano shoes, Shimano notes that CL-SL100, CL-SL110 and CL-SL120 leave a reduced adjustment range, so they may not reach your current cleat position; the grey CL-SL130 keeps the traditional SPD-SL adjustment range for exactly that case, without the lower stack height or weight saving.

Pedals	PD-R9300, PD-R8200
Cleat system	SPD-SLR only (not SPD-SL)
Shoes	Non-Shimano and older Shimano 3-bolt shoes

Expanded cleat adjustment

Keeps the traditional SPD-SL fore-aft adjustment range, for non-Shimano shoes and older Shimano shoes that lack the fore-aft adjustment built into the newest models. It does not bring the lower stack height or weight saving of the other SPD-SLR cleats.

Stable connection

The SPD-SLR-specific cleat shape creates a seamless connection with the pedal for a more stable, connected feel.

Precision cleat setup

Multiple alignment markers and a centre window that shows the outsole grid on Shimano shoes, so the cleat is easy to position accurately and to return to a known setting.

Description

The SPD-SLR cleat for shoes that aren’t the newest Shimano models. It keeps the traditional SPD-SL fore-aft adjustment range, so non-Shimano 3-bolt shoes and older Shimano shoes can reach their usual cleat position on SPD-SLR pedals, with 6° of float (±3°). Shimano is clear that it does not bring the lower stack height or weight saving of the other SPD-SLR cleats.
