OUR TECHNOLOGY

Our mission is to create the most comfortable and most reliable mountain bike footwear on the planet. For the rider, this means a precision fit, unparalleled pedal contact and unmatched protection—leaving you to focus on the shred ahead rather than the gear below.

Our Tech

1. Traction, Optimized

Our exclusive hexagon pattern outsoles feature deep lugs, allowing for penetration of pedal pins in order to obtain optimal grip in any condition. The outsoles of our clip shoes feature either a 40mm or 42mm wide cleat box for compatibility with all mountain clip pedals, and a long line of fore and aft adjustability with index markings for precision cleat placement.

Rubber Kinetics

We collaborated with Rubber Kinetics to develop dynamic surface technology (DST), a series of proprietary rubber compounds specific to our needs. WIth decades of expertise within the bicycle and powersports segments, Rubber Kinetics specializes in rubber compounding for real-world applications.

Understanding that every rider deserves the same quality and attention when it comes to fit and performance, we have developed our entire range from the ground up with specific construction for men, women and youth for customized performance.

RIDER-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

Flex, fit, padding, volume and sizing—we’ve considered it all so that every rider can find his or her dialed fit.

Men's Performance

Optimized padding, stiffer flex and wider toe box

Women's Performance

Optimized toe and collar padding, slightly softer flex and tailored heel cup

Youth Performance

Expanded smaller sizes, softer flex and optimized padding for groms that go big

3. Materials

Each and every detail of our shoes is purposely chosen and designed with one goal in mind—to build the most comfortable, durable and reliable bike footwear. Every weld, stitch, upper, outsole and closure is carefully considered.

For 2022, we introduce Cordura material into the uppers of our Tallac and Flume series. This high performance durable fabric is lightweight and breathable, ideal for our trail applications.

Our new Tallac and Flume BOA® shoes utilize the BOA® Fit System for a micro-adjustable, precision fit with strong, flexible, and low-friction textile TX4 Laces.

Ride Concepts Material Matters Technology

Ride Concepts Material Mattes Technology

When we saw the opportunity to introduce recycled materials to our award-winning Hellion Elite, we said “hell yes,” because materials matter. Where materials come from matters even more.

Consider our dual-density EVA insole a line of defense for your feet. The lightweight two-layered insole disperses impact while also providing additional support and cushion.
