Time Atac Cleats
When it comes to cleats, everything remains the same. The French rely on their tried and tested Atac system, which is not compatible with systems from other manufacturers, such as Shimano SPD.
Time Atac 13/17°
The ATAC 13/17° cleat works with all Time MTB pedals. This cleat is included with all MTB models from number 6 upwards and is the most commonly used cleat for replacement. It offers a heel release angle of 13 or 17 degrees, depending on how the cleat is set on the shoe. Compatible with all two-hole cycling shoes.
Time Atac EASY 10°
Time also has the Atac Easy 10° cleat in its range for a slightly quicker exit. This cleat is included with the MTB models with the number 4. It offers a heel release angle of 10 degrees and is compatible with all two-hole cycling shoes. Despite the "Easy" suffix, it should also be a good choice for performance-orientated bikers who want to reduce the release angle from 17 or 13 degrees.
All new Time pedals are now available in stores. You will soon be able to read a detailed test on our website. You can find our latest comparison test of pedals and lots more information on the subject here.
