Yes, the cleat has "dots" that indicate the angle of release. You have a shallow or deep release setting according to which way you align it, and can even further facilitate the release by angling the cleat towards the direction you want to come out. I would say the only disadvantage is they can sometimes be too easy to come out of. Since I really can't/don't stand in the saddle under power I don't have concern over it.
