Shimano Launches SPD-SLR: Slim Cleats, Lighter Pedals and a Non-Backward Compatible Shift

Shimano unveils SPD-SLR, its first major overhaul of the SPD-SL system in two decades, introducing the slimmer CL‑SL120 cleats (four float options, fore-aft adjustment removed except for grey version), new Dura‑Ace PD‑R9300 and Ultegra PD‑R8200 pedals with about 2.3mm lower stack height, and S‑Phyre RC910 shoes with longer cleat slots. The setup is not backwards compatible with SPD‑SL, pricing is competitive, and early riders report a solid, locked-in feel—though widespread upgrade will require replacing all pedals across bikes.

Shimano’s Dura-Ace R9300 surfaces as 13-speed, semi-wireless at the Vuelta

Cyclingnews reports a prototype Shimano Dura-Ace R9300 groupset has been spotted on Alpecin-Premier Tech bikes at stage 1 of La Vuelta a España. The photos indicate a 13-speed rear cassette and a redesigned shifter with a protruding thumb button, with a semi-wireless setup (shifters wirelessly communicate to derailleurs via a battery in the frame) rather than a fully wireless system. The leak suggests a new freehub body will be required, alloy cranks similar to current designs, and potential 1x compatibility, though exact cog sizes and final specs remain unconfirmed.

Pogačar’s finish-line gadget revealed: it was a Whoop heart-rate sensor

At Strade Bianche, Tadej Pogačar’s finish-line celebration revealed a small black sensor under his skinsuit. Cyclingnews confirms it’s his Whoop wearable (likely the 5.0) used to track metrics like heart rate, HRV, and sleep. While Whoop is usually worn on the wrist, it can be positioned elsewhere on the body, and in this case appears to have been held in place by the sleeve. The exact reason for its placement remains unclear, and his Strava posting didn’t include heart-rate or power data.
