Genetix Plus 2 Mountain Bike Shoe - Men's

The SLW Dial, or Speed Lace Win dial, is an innovative closure system that allows you to easily adjust the tightness of your cycling shoes with a simple twist. This feature ensures a secure fit, which is crucial for optimal power transfer while pedaling. Additionally, it can be loosened quickly, making it convenient for on-the-go adjustments during rides.

TOPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a high-performance midsole material known for its stiffness and durability. This means that when you pedal, more of your energy is efficiently transferred from your foot to the pedals, rather than being absorbed by the shoe. This results in improved power output and a more responsive cycling experience.

The Speedlight 3D Sole is designed with a three-dimensional structure that enhances grip and stability while riding. Its lightweight yet durable construction makes it ideal for long rides, ensuring comfort without sacrificing performance. This sole design helps you maintain control and balance, especially on challenging terrains.

A 2-bolt cleat compatibility indicates that the shoes are designed to work with cleats that attach using two bolts, which is a standard for mountain biking. This system allows for easier walking when you need to dismount and provides better engagement with the pedals, making it perfect for off-road cycling adventures.

An aggressive tread pattern features deep grooves and designs that provide superior traction on uneven or slippery surfaces. This is particularly beneficial when you need to walk or hike during your ride, such as during steep climbs or technical trail sections. With this tread pattern, you can confidently navigate various terrains without slipping.

While these shoes are primarily designed for mountain biking due to their 2-bolt cleat compatibility and aggressive tread pattern, they can also be suitable for casual road cycling. However, if you plan to do a lot of road cycling, you might want to consider shoes specifically designed for that purpose, as they typically feature a smoother sole for better efficiency on paved surfaces.
