PREMIUM MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION

Our premium synthetic upper is constructed from durable, water-resistant materials, and is also perforated for enhanced breathability and ventilation. In addition, a traditional lace closure system complete with lace pocket keeps your foot comfortably secure.

MATCH BOX

Ramped cleat box offers easy pedal entry and mud shedding. The extended 35mm cleat track allows rearward positioning for added control and stability when descending. And, the cleat box depth is carefully chosen to allow for optimal shoe-to-pedal contact, right out of the box.

MATCH COMPOUND

Mid-friction MC1 rubber compound for easy pedal entry and exit, plus long life.

MATCH OUTSOLE

The new Trail tread pattern is designed for balanced traction on and off the bike, great walkability, and an optimized pedal interface. A stiff fiber-reinforced nylon shank transfers power efficiently, and a low-rebound EVA midsole damps vibration.

TOE PROTECTION

A TPU-reinforced toe box combined with an outsole that wraps the front of the shoe provide critical protection against impacts.
