TIME ATAC Pedal Cleats are premium, solid brass engagement cleats designed exclusively for TIME mountain, gravel, and cyclocross pedal systems. These cleats utilize a unique 2-bolt SPD mounting standard and are highly praised for their exceptional mud-shedding capabilities and smooth, joint-friendly lateral float.
The Two Main Cleat Variations
TIME offers their ATAC cleats in two distinct profiles to suit your preferred release angle and riding experience:
1. TIME ATAC 13° / 17° Standard Cleats
The Mechanism: These asymmetrical, reversible cleats allow you to change the release angle by swapping the left and right cleats between your shoes.
Who it is for: Ideal for experienced trail, cross-country, and fixed-gear riders who require a secure hold and want to prevent accidental unclipping during aggressive maneuvers or sprints.
Included with: Standard on mid-to-high tier TIME pedals numbered "6" and higher (e.g., XC 6, XC 8, Speciale).
2. TIME ATAC "Easy" 10° Cleats
The Mechanism: Built with a narrower 10-degree release angle, requiring much less ankle rotation to exit the pedal.
Who it is for: Perfect for beginners transitioning to clipless pedals, commuters, or high-performance gravel riders seeking quick and effortless step-out action.
Included with: Standard on entry-level TIME pedals numbered "2" and "4" (e.g., XC 2, XC 4).
Key Specifications
Material: High-quality solid cast brass, designed to slowly wear down over time to protect the harder steel engagement springs inside your pedals.
Angular Float: +/- 5° of free rotation, reducing knee strain by allowing your feet to find their natural angle.
Lateral Float: 2.5 mm of side-to-side play along the pedal axle, enhancing comfort and adaptability during rides.
With their robust design, customizable release options, and rider-friendly features, TIME ATAC Pedal Cleats are an excellent choice for both seasoned riders and those new to clipless systems.
