Description
Steel cleats hit harder than aluminum, and for riders who want the most aggressive bite possible from a ProTaper 2.3 Platform footpeg, the SS Standard Cleat Kit is the answer. Where the aluminum cleat options prioritize light weight, this steel version is built for riders who value raw grip above all else, particularly those running heavy boots in wet or muddy conditions where a softer cleat can pack with dirt and lose bite.
What sets this cleat kit apart:
- Solid steel construction for an aggressive, hard-wearing cleat surface
- Standard height matches factory 2.3 Platform geometry, no stance adjustment needed
- Bolts onto the existing ProTaper 2.3 Platform footpeg body
- Steel edge holds its bite longer under repeated boot contact than softer materials
- Simple hardware swap using the original mounting bolts
This kit fits the ProTaper 2.3 Platform footpeg only, so if your bike came with a different peg body this will not bolt up. Riders who ride in consistently wet, muddy, or rocky conditions tend to prefer steel cleats specifically because they resist rounding off faster than aluminum, even if it comes with a small weight penalty. IPD Racing carries this kit alongside the rest of the ProTaper cleat lineup so you can pick the material and height that actually suits how and where you ride.
