TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable plastic used in the upper material of cycling shoes. Its lightweight nature and resistance to abrasion make it ideal for tough riding conditions, ensuring that your shoes can withstand the rigors of mountain biking while providing comfort and support.

Anatomic Reticular Support is designed to fit the natural shape of your foot, distributing pressure evenly. This feature enhances comfort and stability, which is crucial for performance during long rides or challenging terrains, allowing you to focus on your cycling without discomfort.

SLW3 Dials, or Speed Lace Winch 3, are a unique closure system featuring two dials that allow for precise adjustments of the shoe's tightness. This ensures a secure fit and even pressure across your foot, which can significantly enhance comfort and performance while cycling.

The Carbon Fiber Plate is a lightweight and stiff component that helps transfer energy efficiently from your foot to the pedal. This design maximizes your power output during cycling, making it easier to tackle steep climbs and maintain speed on flat terrain.

Michelin Hyperlight Rubber is a specialized material developed in collaboration with Michelin, known for its excellent grip and durability. This rubber is designed to perform well on various terrains, providing traction and stability whether you're mountain biking, gravel riding, or navigating trails.

The combination of TPU, Anatomic Reticular Support, SLW3 Dials, Carbon Fiber Plate, and Michelin Hyperlight Rubber work together to enhance comfort, fit, and energy transfer. These features allow for better control, reduced fatigue, and improved efficiency, ultimately leading to a more enjoyable and effective cycling experience.
