Crank Brothers

Mallet Speedlace Mountain Bike Shoe

A Clip-in Trail Shoe is specifically designed for off-road biking and features a mechanism that allows you to "clip in" to your bike's pedals. This secure connection enhances your pedaling efficiency, providing better power transfer and control on rugged trails. By using these shoes, you can tackle challenging terrains with improved stability and performance.

The Speed Lace Closure System replaces traditional laces with a cord and locking mechanism that allows for quick adjustments. With a single pull, you can tighten or loosen the fit of your shoe, making it incredibly convenient for cyclists who need to make rapid changes while on the go. This system ensures a snug fit, enhancing comfort and performance during your ride.

An EVA Midsole is made from ethylene-vinyl acetate, a lightweight and flexible foam material that provides excellent cushioning. This midsole absorbs shock, reducing fatigue during long rides and enhancing overall comfort. With an EVA Midsole, you can enjoy a smoother ride, even on bumpy trails.

Match Compound Rubber is specifically formulated to provide superior grip and traction, especially when paired with Crank Brothers' clipless pedals. This rubber is optimized for various conditions, including wet and muddy terrain, ensuring that you maintain stability and control while riding. It enhances your confidence on the trails, allowing for a more enjoyable cycling experience.

A Ramped Cleat Box features a specially designed shape and positioning for the cleat attachment, making it easier to clip in and out of your pedals. This design is particularly beneficial in challenging conditions, as it allows for smoother entry and exit. With a Ramped Cleat Box, you can focus more on your ride and less on fumbling with your shoes, improving your overall cycling efficiency.

While Clip-in Trail Shoes are optimized for off-road biking, they can also be used for other cycling activities, such as mountain biking or casual rides. However, if you primarily ride on smooth roads or engage in competitive cycling, you may want to consider shoes specifically designed for those purposes. Nonetheless, these versatile shoes provide excellent performance across various cycling environments.
