Shimano SM-SH51 Cleats, how much do they weigh?

The SM-SH51 is the standard Shimano SPD cleats for Mountain Biking. They will only release when you twist your heel outwards, unlike SM-SH55 or SM-SH56 that would release your foot from multiple angles. Which is arguably safer if you need to bail on your bike.. but using training wheels are safer too and you don't see people use them...

Anyway, the SH51 is in fact the proper and recommended cleats that would come bundled with many Shimano SPD pedals. I got mine when I bought the M424's.

A set/pair of said cleats weigh in at 52 grams including the allen and the works. You'd think something that is part of a "clipless" system would "weigh less"... but oh well.
