Made for the rigours of regular mountain bike use, the 4.0 Clipless Pedal Shoes are packed with features to make every ride fun and fast. The tough upper is definitely a match for the rough ride of mountain biking and features a rigid reinforced toe to prevent the sting of rock and root strikes. The raised inner ankle is also padded, fending off the bumps and bruises of cranks and swing arms. Weather protection comes via a Hydradri 10K/10K water-resistant liner over the toe box. Meanwhile, cross-tension straps give you excellent foot stability when pedalling and add extra weatherproof coverage over the forefoot too. Inside the 4.0s, the Active Carbon insole is quick-wicking and quick-drying and with anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties ensures you enjoy fresh feet whenever you ride. Clip and Go When you're on the clipless pedals you want quick and easy engagement and plenty of adjustment to get the support and pedalling efficiency from the right cleat position. And here the Leatt SPD channel is a clear winner. This provides an extended range of cleat adjustment, ideal for gravity riders, and ensures you always find the clip-in point with minimal fuss. There's also the combination of Leatt's sticky RideGripTM Compound and WaffleGrip tread. This gives traction on the peal body, whether clipped in or not, boosting confidence to let it all hang out on loose terrain. And when you're off your bike and pushing up to session a trail feature, the aggressive lug pattern keeps you upright and secure on 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.
You ride your mountain bike for the thrills and the awesome fun and exhilarating. The buzz you get from riding or competing with and against friends. And so you don't want distractions, least of all when you just want to get on the pedals and ride. The 5.0 Clipless Pedal Shoes ensure you are always ready to roll with minimum fuss and maximum comfort and efficiency. Clip and Go When you're on the clipless pedals you want quick and easy engagement and plenty of adjustment to get the support and pedalling efficiency from the right cleat position. And here the Leatt SPD channel is a clear winner. This provides an extended range of cleat adjustment, ideal for gravity riders, and ensures you always find the clip-in point with minimal fuss. There's also the combination of Leatt's sticky RideGripTM Compound and WaffleGrip tread. This gives traction on the pedal body, whether clipped in or not, boosting confidence to let it all hang out on loose terrain. Across the pedal area, the shoe is stiffened, creating a supportive and efficient pedalling platform. Meanwhile, the more flexible toe section is just right for those times when you're pushing back up the hill. Mudflow channels also improve dirt-shedding, keeping the tread clearer when it's very muddy. And when you're off your bike and pushing up to session a trail feature, the aggressive lug pattern keeps you upright and secure on any terrain. Lastly, an anti-compression EVA midsole delivers excellent comfort and support over any terrain, from smooth flow trails to testing jump runs to steep rocky chutes. Durably Comfortable The 5.0s don't just let you clip in easily. They're also tough enough for the rigours of regular mountain bike fun and comfortable for all-day trail-ripping adventures. First of all, the Hydradri 10K/10K water-resistant construction means there's no way poor weather will keep you from riding. Inside, an Active Carbon lining and insole keep your feet fresh thanks to the quick-wicking performance and anti-bacterial, anti-odour characteristics. Getting the perfect fit is also simple. The speed lace system lets you get lace tension just how you like it and then lock the fit in place. Cross-tension straps also add extra adjustment and also provide some extra weather protection across the forefoot. Strategically placed TPU protection and a rigid reinforced toe box fend off the inevitable bumps and scratches from debris found on any trail or kicked up off your tyres.
