Built to Power Every Pedal Stroke
Road. Gravel. Trail. Studio.
Every ride starts here. Power, control, and connection start at your feet. Whether you’re chasing miles, dirt, or new terrain, this guide breaks down cleats, styles, and features—so you can choose the right shoe for the way you ride. No fluff. Just the facts that matter.
Every Watt Starts Here
Your shoes are more than gear—they’re the link between power and motion. The wrong pair holds you back. The right ones disappear beneath you, turning effort into speed and trail into flow. Choose wisely.
Outsole Materials
Stiffness drives power. Road shoes maximize efficiency, while MTB and gravel soles blend stiffness with flex for hike-a-bike grip and off-road feel.
Closure Systems
BOA® dials, offer micro-adjustability and even pressure. Velcro® is quick and simple. Laces offer retro style and customization.
Upper Materials
From perforated synthetics to stretch-knit blends, the upper controls how your shoe fits, flexes, and breathes. Choose right, and it stays out of your way—mile after mile.
Walkability
Not every ride stays on the pedals. MTB, gravel, and studio shoes feature traction-enhancing outsoles for hike-a-bike sections, café stops, or studio transitions. Choose walkable shoes if your ride includes off-bike moments.
ROAD SHOES
BUILT FOR BIG EFFORTS
Comfort that locks in. Power that won’t quit. The PRO Road Shoe blends a dialed fit with serious performance for riders who put in real miles.
A seamless upper made from perforated synthetic leather keeps things light and breathable. Twin BOA® dials let you tweak the fit on the fly, and soft lace guides keep pressure off the top of your foot. Underneath, a stiff carbon sole puts power straight into the pedals—no wasted effort, just smooth speed. And with a supportive footbed built for long rides, you’ll stay fresh from first push to final sprint.
GRAVEL SHOES
THE GREAT ALL-ROUNDER
The Expedition PRO brings road-shoe power to gravel and XC. It’s lightweight, tough, and fits like a slipper.
The breathable synthetic upper is smooth and streamlined with zero hot spots. Dual BOA® dials let you fine-tune the fit on the fly, and soft TX lace guides take the pressure off the top of your foot.
A carbon sole gives you serious stiffness, wrapped in scuff-resistant TPU to handle rough terrain. Mud-shedding tread keeps things clean when the course gets gritty. Inside, a dual-density footbed keeps your feet fresh and supported—even after big miles. Go fast. Get dirty. Repeat.
TRAIL SHOES
BUILT FOR THE UNKNOWN. TRUSTED WHEN IT COUNTS.
The X-Alp Summit is built to go wherever the trail leads—ride, hike, scramble, repeat. Named Best Bikepacking MTB Shoe by Gear Patrol, it packs performance without overthinking it.
We started with a stiff-but-walkable nylon composite sole and a Vibram ECOSTEP outsole for legit traction on sketchy hike-a-bike sections. The L6 BOA® dial and toe strap combo gives you a secure fit you can tweak on the fly.
The synthetic upper is breathable and drains fast—so creek crossings don’t mean soggy miles. And a reinforced toe box is there to take the hit when the trail throws a curveball. This is your do-it-all trail shoe. Clip in and go long.
STUDIO SHOES
CRUSH THE STUDIO SESSION
Named Best Velcro Spin Shoe by Rolling Stone, the Quest Shoe is everything you need and nothing you don’t.
The full nylon sole delivers efficient pedaling without zapping your feet, while a mesh-bonded upper keeps airflow moving when the studio (or road) heats up. Three simple straps give you a secure, adjustable fit without the fuss.
Clip in with 2-bolt or 3-bolt cleats, and when it’s time to head to the locker room or coffee stop, the grippy heel bumper makes walking a breeze. Easy to wear. Easy to love. Built to get you rolling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cleat system do I need: 2-bolt or 3-bolt?
It depends on how you ride:
- 2-bolt cleats (SPD style) are great for gravel, mountain biking, commuting, and rides where you’ll walk off the bike. They’re easy to walk in and super versatile.
→ Try: Expedition PRO, Expedition, X-Alp Summit, X-Alp Canyon, Rove (flat pedal). - 3-bolt cleats are made for road cycling and max power transfer on pavement. Perfect if you’re focused on speed and efficiency.
→ Try: Pro Air, Attack, Quest Road.
Quick tip: All our shoes list which cleat system they use — so you can shop with confidence.
Can I use the same shoes for different types of riding?
You can — it depends on what kind of riding you’re doing:
- Gravel, mountain biking & commuting: Many 2-bolt shoes work great across these styles. If you want one pair for everything from trail rides to city errands, try versatile options like:
→ Expedition, X-Alp Summit, X-Alp Canyon, Rove. - Road cycling: 3-bolt road shoes are more specialized — they shine on pavement but aren’t great for walking or off-road. If you mostly ride road, stick with:
→ Pro Air, Attack, Quest Road.
Quick tip: If you want max flexibility, choose a 2-bolt compatible shoe — it gives you the freedom to ride gravel, trails, and road with ease.
What makes a shoe "gravel-ready"?
Gravel-ready shoes are built for adventure riding — mixing pavement, dirt, and everything in between:
- Grippy soles: Designed for off-bike sections — think dirt, mud, or hike-a-bike moments.
- 2-bolt cleat compatibility: Lets you clip in for efficiency, but still walk comfortably.
- Durable uppers: Built to handle dust, debris, and rougher conditions than pure road shoes.
- Comfort for long rides: Tuned for all-day adventures, not just fast laps.

Pro tip: Gravel shoes also work great for bikepacking, touring, and mixed-terrain rides.
