Highlights & Technologies:

DYNALAST:
An anatomic shoe last that perfectly adapts to the natural shape of the foot. Thanks to a deep positioning inside the shoe, it allows for a close fit. This makes it perfectly suitable for fast-paced long-distance rides. The optimized shape of the sole with a less high toe section ensures efficient transfer of muscular energy, and thanks to its especially thin structure, it even allows for a high stiffness at a low weight. Thanks to a wider cleat adjustment range, you can position the cleats in an anatomically and biomechanically correct way.

ULTREAD XC:
Rubber outer sole with high-tech tread pattern for maximum grip on slippery grounds. Three-lobed lugs at the front and rear in combination with a taller tread at the heel promise grip and control when needed.

BOA Li2:
The new, groundbreaking Li2 dial from BOA gives the L-SERIES a slim, flat design and unprecedented resilience. With its precise adjustability in both directions, the Li2 is the ultimate solution for a fast, easy, precise fit.
