Thermal-welded Teijin® TPU adds structural support exactly where it's needed, and a high-modulus Easton® EC90™ SLX2 carbon fiber plate provides ultimate stiffnessto-weight for power transfer. Our adjustable Super Natural Fit footbed system is the final touch, allowing you to customize arch support right out of the box for luxurious comfort and optimal pedaling efficiency.
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.

A Classic in the MakingMixing cutting edge cycling technology with a timeless aesthetic and with Sidi's well-earned reputation for durability, the Sixty Road Shoes are an outstanding choice for the most demanding of cyclists. The upper benefits from being made from Sidi's TechPro Microfibre. This highly functional material is an eco-friendly leatherette offering a supple and comfortable fit while maintaining superb durability as well as offering water-resistance for damp days. Areas of nylon mesh provide a boost to breathability and airflow, ensuring your hot days on the bike don't leave your feet damp and uncomfortable. An anti-mould treatment also helps fight the build-up of bacteria, leaving your feet fresh, kilometre after kilometre. Tecno-4 closure systemIt was in 1988 that a rotor closure system first appeared on Sidi shoes and this style of closure has been a feature ever since. The very latest Tecno-4 closure system is, of course, leaps and bounds beyond that original system, offering a superbly precise adjustment of the fit. Smooth running wire laces pull evenly to apply just the right amount of pressure. The release of the tension has been improved for faster closure and release. Like all Sidi shoes, this new Tecno-4 is replaceable, allowing your shoes to last and last.As well as the Tecno-4 system, the Sixty makes use of high-security Velcro strap across the front of the shoe. With integrated teeth that lock together when the strap is closed, this system creates a secure fit while keeping weight low and ease of use high.Vent Carbon SoleThe low weight and stiffness of the Vent Carbon Sole allow for high performing power transfers. Put the power down and revel in an instant reaction as you quickly get up to speed. The woven carbon fibre construction maximises the soles stiffness while allowing for a small degree of flex in the toes. This carefully honed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The sole is also designed with summer in mind, featuring an integrated vent and air channels to dissipate heat and improve airflow.A replaceable polyurethane heel pad and replaceable and adjustable front vent give your shoe excellent breathability and durability.Integrated HeelTo the back of the shoe, the fully integrated heel system provides a secure fit and prevents deformation even during prolonged use. The anatomic shape hugs the heel area, preventing slippage when under load and stabilising the foot for a smooth pedal stroke. When making all-out efforts, sprints and hitting the climbs, this extra stability is essential. Lastly, a reflex insert provides greater safety by helping signal your presence to other road users in low light conditions. Cleat GuidanceThese 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 Features:Please Note: Sidi recommend purchasing one whole size up from your usual fitModel to mark Sidi's 60th anniversaryTechPro upperTecno-4 closure systemHigh-security Velcro strapFull 3k carbon Vent soleHandmade in Italy3-bolt cleat compatibleBuy Sidi from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
