CrankBrothers Easy Release

Confidence-Building Exit. Minimalist Effort.

The Crankbrothers Easy Release Cleats are specifically engineered with a shorter 10° release angle. While the standard cleats require a deeper 15° or 20° twist to disengage, the Easy Release version lets you break free with a subtle, low-force flick of the heel. This makes them the ultimate "learning tool" for beginners and a safety essential for riders navigating unpredictable urban traffic or tight, low-speed switchbacks.

Why the Easy Release is a Game-Changer:

• Lower Release Force: Designed with a refined cam profile that requires significantly less physical effort to disengage, reducing the "panic" of not being able to unclip at a stoplight.

• Tight 10° Release Angle: By shortening the rotation required to exit, these cleats allow for an almost instantaneous "dab," perfect for riders who frequently find themselves needing to put a foot down on technical climbs.

• 0° or 6° Float Options: Available in two distinct versions. Choose 0° float for a locked-in, road-like power transfer, or 6° float to allow your knees and ankles to find their natural, pain-free alignment.

• Premium Strength Brass: Just like the standards, these are forged from a specialized brass alloy that is designed to wear before your pedal wings do, ensuring your expensive pedals stay in peak condition.

• Universal Crankbrothers Fit: Fully compatible with the entire lineup, including Eggbeater, Candy, Mallet, and 5050 pedals.

• Ultra-Low Profile: The slim design sits deep within your shoe's lug pattern, making "hike-a-bike" sections safer and quieter on pavement.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call these the "Confidence Builders." If a customer is nervous about moving from flat pedals to clips, we always point them toward the Easy Release. They are also a "secret weapon" for indoor cycling and spinning; since you're clipping in and out so often, that lower release force saves a lot of fatigue on your ankles. If you've ever had a "tipping over at 0mph" moment, these are the cure.
