There’s little worse than having cold and wet feet during a mountain bike ride. But with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, complete with Gore’s waterproof guarantee, the MW702 XC Winter Boots ensure your feet remain drier and warmer when venturing out into the wilds. Shimano also gives the boots a neoprene ankle closure, offering a flexible weatherproof seal just below your calf. The synthetic leather upper is also highly durable and features toe and heel reinforced zones to protect against the inevitable wear and tear of winter mountain biking. BOA® L6 Dial Closure In order to ensure a secure fit and all-weather cycling comfort, the 702s make use of a single BOA® L6 dial covered by a weatherproof wrap-over cover. Micro adjustment of the fit is made quick and easy via a turn of the dial. Whether tightening up for a harder effort or loosening to boost comfort as you wind down, you can get the fit just right to suit your needs. And at the end of a ride, simply pull up the dial for a quick release of the laces – simple even with colder hands. Cross Country Sole Whether on or off the bike, the XC sole unit performs brilliantly. When you’re pushing on the pedals, with a rating of 7 out of 12 for stiffness, it offers efficient power transfer. And should the terrain call for some time hike-a-biking then the ULTREAD™ compound provides a tenacious degree of grip over any terrain. Cleat Guidance These MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.
The premium road shoe in Gaerne's range, the Carbon G. STL Road Cycling Shoes, here in sleek Gold Rush edition, come to life in the lung-busting speed and intensity of road races and during the most challenging training sessions. The lightweight microfibre upper wraps your foot snugly to provides excellent support when pedalling. Laser-perforations allow your feet to breathe and they contribute to maintaining a stable micro-climate inside. The Anatomic Heel Cup 1.0 has evolved to improve foot support and the anti-slip treatment prevents heel lift when you're pedalling. The heel cup works alongside the Tarsal Support System 1.0. Standing for "Tarsal Support System", this maintains the ideal foot position within the shoe, allowing for an efficient pedal stroke and unmatched power transmission. You also benefit from the EPS Comfort insole. The anatomical shape offers support and comfort, while perforations are used to regulate temperature. Gaerne EPS Carbon 12.0 Sole Made from Carbon Fibre, the Gaerne EPS Carbon 12.0 Sole is both super-light and super-thin. And yet it rates 12 out of 12 on Gaerne's stiffness scale. This provides superb foot stability on the bike and ensures all your hard-won watts are transferred to the pedals. The slim sole also keeps your foot closer to the pedal axle, delivering a more natural and efficient pedal stroke. Compared to the previous generation, this sole unit now has 9mm more cleat adjustment, letting you get your cleat position just right. Four-air vents guarantee excellent airflow to the foot and anti-slip inserts at the toe and an interchangeable pad in the rear makes it easier to walk when you're off the bike. BOA Dial Brilliance To customise the fit and feel of the shoes, you'll enjoy the use of the proven Boa Li2 system. This system allows precise adjustment and a uniform fit across the foot while removing any pressure points. Twist. Adjust. Ride. And because the 'lacing' is so minimal, it allows for greater air circulation and hence greater comfort. Boa Technology also guarantees the reels and the cables of the BOA closing system for the entire useful life of the product. The BOA dials work with the InFit Closure System. This gives a total of eight fixing zones through which the Boa laces run. This ensures a smooth application of pressure, spread across your whole foot. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.

Assos Women's DYORA RS Winter Cycling JacketThe ultimate cold-weather layer, the Assos Women's DYORA RS Winter Cycling Jacket balances insulation, moisture-management, flexibility and low-bulk to great effect. Whether a pro-rider or dedicated amateur this is a winter essential. The harder you ride, the more the DYORA RS Winter Cycling Jacket excels. The aim of the Assos design team has been to create a winter jacket that 'activates' when you're training and racing at higher intensities. It harmoniously balances insulation and temperature regulation, keeping you perfectly comfortable on all-day endurance rides through to short and intense interval sessions.Engineered ExcellenceIts incredible performance is made possible thanks to the development of a lightweight softshell material called SPHERE. Replacing Assos' renowned Stratagon, it offers waterproof and flexibility with outstanding moisture control perfectly suited to cycling hard. Inside, across the chest are several thin layers of this SPHERE. This not only protects the chest from cold it's also quick to move sweat off the skin so you don't feel a chill. To the outside, 3-Layer SPHERE light provides a windproof and water-resistant barrier as you face into the weather. A thicker and more insulating version of the same 3-layer material is used across the upper back and forearms for added warmth. To boost climate control, Assos have deployed their Diffusor “valves” at the shoulders, allowing air inside to prevent overheating. Moving to the back, OSMOS Heavy is the most insulating of Assos' brushed-backed materials. And the jacket’s built-in mid-layer is made with lighter, more breathable OSMOS Light while the upper arms are wrapped in windproof warp-knit 3L ZigZaggy Foam.Assos Layering System The DYORA RS Winter Cycling Jacket forms part of a cycling layering system, engineered to work beautifully together. For most winter conditions it works perfectly as a stand-alone winter jacket. However, for extremely harsh conditions use it with an Assos Thermobooster Mid Layer for added insulation.

Function Specific Zones Through careful study of pedalling dynamics, Shimano have engineered the RC9s with materials suited specifically to key characteristic needed in each part of the shoe. This sees non-stretch Kuraray Rovenica, Teijin Nanofront and PU laminated mesh materials all deployed to deliver the very best foot stability, perfect venting, minimal weight and minimised energy loss when pedalling. Shimano Dynalast The RC9s continue with Shimano's Dynalast design ethos. A 360-degree surround upper hugs the foot, offering a stable pedalling platform for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke. It also sees an optimized toe-spring section that ensures efficient and powerful pedalling with a reduction in foot fatigue over long distances. The toe box shape has also benefited from further refinement and the improved design now offers comfort to a wider range of foot shapes. To the heel, an anti-twist heel cup and glass-fibre reinforced heel stabiliser work seamlessly together to resist flex and instability during your higher power output efforts. Dual BOA® Li2 dials Two BOA® Li2 dials, replacing the Boa® IP1 dials of the previous model, provide the ultimate in customisable fit. Micro-adjustment for both tightening and loosening ensure you get the fit just as you want it every time you ride. And as feet swell in the heat or you want to tighten up for a sprint, you can make quick adjustments on the fly. The Li2 dials also benefit from an improved construction to aid durability while also being lower profile to enhance aerodynamics.
