A luxury Sportive shoe combining classic materials with state of the art technology. The Vaypor+ in 2016 takes a new direction combining a classic design; With the luxurious yet uncompromising strength of a kangaroo leather upper Supple cow hide internal lining Bont Cycling’s industry leading carbon technology ensuring highest strength to weight ratio and lowest stack height The anatomical perfection of Bont Cycling’s last to ensure correct fit Bont Cycling’s technical innovations for improved efficiency and structural support BOA’s IP1 Dual directional dial with quick release functionality Both traditional and bold colour options Features: Heavy Duty Upper The 2016 Vaypor+ is manufactured with a kangaroo upper to provide a supple yet extremely durable shoe. Kangaroo leather is renowned for its high strength, light weight and durability. Details on the upper are embroidered to continue the classic theme. Unidirectional Carbon Chassis The Vaypor+ continues with its unidirectional monocoque chassis in matt finish and is upgraded with an improved grid to assist cleat adjustment. Retention System IP1 BOA dials are utilized on the 2016 Vaypor+. BOA’s premium series dial offers dual directional micro adjustability and quick release functionality. TPU Toe Protector The toe protector not only protects the front area of the shoe from wheel rub and impact, but also houses ventilation holes for improving airflow through the shoe. Ventilation The 2016 Vaypor+ is highly ventilated with integrated air vents on the front bumper providing direct airflow into the shoe along with perforated upper and tongue to maximise breathability. Anti Stretch Between the outer leather and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer leather and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assits in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke. Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, We make shoes for cycling, not walking. Carbon Fiber Bont carbon fiber is sourced exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The base of the Vaypor+ is made by hand utilizing uni-directional carbon fiber which is embedded with epoxy thermo setting resin. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The Vaypor+ utilizes unidirectional carbon fiber allowing Bont to create a performance cycling shoe with very specific strength characteristics based on stress points in cycling. As unidirectional carbon absorbs less resin then cross weave fibers, it also assists in the weight reduction of the cycling shoes. Padding The Vaypor+ utilises closed cell memory foam that will not retain water assisting in maintaining a lighter shoe during wet conditions as well as ensuring sweat which can begin to break down the durability of the shoe is not absorbed. Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet. Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Anatomical Forefoot Shape Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common hot foot sensation. Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area. Anatomical Heel Cup The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. Lateral Forefoot Support Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.

The Bont Vaypor G sets a new benchmark for high-performance gravel cycling shoes. To meet the demand of the growing gravel scene, the Vaypor G uses a unidirectional carbon chassis, heat moldable fit and grippy sole to delivery incredible performance on and off the bike.Unidirectional carbon sole is designed for maximum performance at a class leading weightDurolite upper is light and durable, while faux suede leather liner improves comfortDual BOA retention system allows for easy, consistent adjustmentFully heat moldable chassis allows you to get the perfect fitReplaceable Grip Plate sole designed to maximise grip in dirt and muddy conditionsFrom the outset, Bont designed the Vaypor G to be the best Gravel shoe you can buy. The Vaypor G uses a stiff unidirectional carbon sole with a slim 3.6mm stack height to offer maximum performance. The replaceable Grip Plate sole is designed to maximise grip in dirty and muddy conditions, while also shedding mud and trail debris with ease.Gravel shoes are likely to see a lot more abuse than a road cycling shoe, so Bont has utilised a light but tough anti-stretch Durolite upper that is incredibly durable and built to last. Memory foam padding and a faux suede leather liner improve comfort over long distances, so the Vaypor G can remain comfortable on the longest and roughest of gravel rides. Further emphasising the built to last ethos is the replaceable Grip Plate sole, so if this wears out you can easily replace it.Fit on any cycle shoe is important, and Bont have equipped the Vaypor G with a fully heat moldable chassis so you can ensure you have the perfect personalised fit just for you. With the fit sorted you'll want to make sure the shoes stay put and thanks to the use of a Dual BOA retention system, you can be sure the Vaypor G is going nowhere, even under hard, out of the saddle sprints and climbs. Durable, stiff, and comfortable, the Bont Vaypor G is the ultimate shoe for gravel riders who can't live with compromise.Size Chart:
