Race-day stiffness. All-day comfort. Built to move fast and ride hard.
When every watt counts, your shoes matter. In cross-country and gravel riding, they're your connection to the bike, converting effort into speed control, and confidence.
Every rider needs a solid foundation–and both shoes in the Expedition franchise deliver efficient power transfer, all-day comfort and confident grip on rugged terrain.
But depending on where and how you ride, one might suit you better. Carbon or composite? Dual BOA® or single diale? Let's find your perfect match.
What Shoe is Right for You?
TL;DR
Go with the Expedition PRO if you want every watt to count and need a shoe built for serious XC and gravel performance.
Stick with Expedition if you want a versatile, comfortable workhorse that’s still stiff, fast, and ready for adventure.
Need More Help Choosing?
Start with how you ride. Whether you're chasing podiums or flowing through forest singletrack, the right shoe gives you the power to ride harder—without holding you back.
Things to consider:
- Outsole material: Stiff soles = more power. Carbon maximizes efficiency for racing. Nylon blends stiffness with flex for trail comfort and off-bike grip.
- Closure system: BOA® dials offer micro-adjustability and even pressure. Velcro® is fast and simple. Laces bring retro style with a custom fit.
- Upper materials: Seamless or stretch-knit uppers reduce hot spots and improve breathability—so the fit stays comfortable mile after mile.
- Walkability: Gravel and XC often mean hike-a-bike. Look for grippy TPU tread and 2-bolt cleat compatibility if your ride goes off-road or off-bike.
Pro Tip: Gravel-ready shoes are made for more than gravel. They’re also ideal for bikepacking, touring, and off-grid adventures.
