Silca introduces titanium printed cleats 4 times more durable and half the weight

Silca has just introduced cleats for mountain bike clipless pedals that have been manufactured by 3D printing in titanium. The brand claims they are 4 times more durable than the originals and reduce the weight by half.

New titanium cleats from Silca

Let's start by saying that these new cleats are priced at $85 to properly position this exclusive component. The cleats are 3D printed from 6Al 4V titanium using a "hollow" lattice structure.

The brand claims that the material used and the manufacturing method make these cleats twice as resistant compared to standard cleats, and up to 4 times more durable. In addition, they state that the weight is practically halved in any model.
