Looks very similar size to an spd cleat bolt. I've had those with a variety of Allen key sizes. It's the actual bolt size (width and length) that counts.

Looks like just a standard countersunk hex socket screw - DIN7991

2.5mm hex means it's an M4 according to this link

https://shop4fasteners.co.uk/fasteners/socket-screws/socket-countersunk/socket-head-countersunk-screws-bzp.html

(Click on technical data tab and one of the images is keyed so you can see what you are looking at)

For countersunk screws you need to order by total length, not just thread length like you would with a standard cap head screw.
Hard to tell, but is your screw 8mm long?

If so, you need an M4x8 socket countersunk screw.

Here's an ebay seller with what you need.

Have you asked Commencal? I got then to send out some bolts after one snapped on me (many moons ago)
