Lighter, Stronger, Faster. Designed for speed and comfort. The Vaypor S once again redefines the standards of pro level road cycling shoes. Our latest flagship shoe has been further refined to improve on our already industry leading standards. Wether you are a pro racer or simply a rider who demands the finest, the Vaypor S will provide the most anatomically and biomechanically correct platform with the most efficient power transfer platform currently available. Features: Durolite Outer Skin Strength to weight ratio's have always played an important part in Bont cycling shoe design as all materials considered and developed for products within the Bont range must comply to strict standards. Durolite has been developed and chosen for the Vaypor S upper for its extremely durable nature and light weight. Unidirectional Carbon And Micro Grid The Vaypor S is manufactured utilizing unidirectional carbon fibre laid specific to stress points to maximise performance whilst minimising weight, creating the highest strength to weight ratio of any cycling shoe currently available. The base is finished with a matt treatment to improve the aesthetics of the sole. Bont Cycling’s Micro Grid allows for greater accuracy in cleat placement and adjustment. Retention System One of the key features of the Vaypor S is it’s new upper design and integrated retention system. Whilst designing the Vaypor S, it was imperative that the shoe would cater to the extremely demanding needs of professional sprinters. Pro sprinters require not only an extremely comfortable shoe with lossless power transfer, but also a highly adjustable retention system that is able to lock them into the heel cup of a shoe without any heel movement. Toe And Heel Protection A new one piece toe guard has been designed to further reduce weight, increase airflow into shoe and improve the aesthetics of the front area. The heel guard has also been designed to improve grip. Ventilation Ventilation of the Vaypor S is maximized by including ventilation holes across the tongue, top of the forefoot, through the front bumper and arch area of the shoe. The ventilation system of the Vaypor S has been designed to create an even airflow around the foot for cooling. 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 S 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 S 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 S 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.

From the outset of the Torch 3.0 Road shoe design process our goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe. The challenge however was pulling this off at a palatable price.In order to achieve this we utilized three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together—TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup meanwhile lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible. This refined upper is combined with our legendary FACT carbon fibre sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer. Finally we topped the Torch 3.0 off with two Boa® S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.> Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power increase efficiency and reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment> FACT™ carbon composite sole and torsion box construction is directionally rigid for outstanding power transfer: Stiffness Index 8.5.> Dual Boa® S2-SV Snap dial closure for on-the-fly micro-adjustment backed by the Boa® Lifetime Guarantee.> Mesh TPU and synthetic layer upper are placed in specific zones for comfort and lock-down and are thermobonded for a superior fit.> Standard Fit for support and all-day comfort.> Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.> Approximate weight: 248g (1/2 pair Size 42)

The Sidi Sixty is a very special cycling shoe to mark the Italian brand’s 60th anniversary. Handmade in Italy, the Sixty is a fresh take on Sidi’s timeless style. With a lightweight chassis, and cutting-edge materials, the high-performance shoe has already made appearances in the pro peloton. The Vent Carbon Sole has been meticulously designed for excellent power transfer, with flex introduced in the front end of the sole for long-ride comfort. An integrated vent can be opened and closed (with a cross head screwdriver), making the Sixty just at home in UK conditions as it is in the heat of Italy and ensuring four season comfort. The Tecno-4 closure system is remarkably advanced compared to the first rotor closure system Sidi designed back in 1988 and is the latest in Sidi’s all-Italian tech closure system. The mechanism consists of a single rotor to reduce the shoe’s weight, and ensures precise, micrometric closure. The release of the tension has been improved for faster closure and release. Like all Sidi shoes, this new Tecno-4 is replaceable if it is ever damaged while the same is true of the rubber heel pad. As well as rotor system, the Sixty also has a high-security Velcro strap across the front of the shoe featuring integrated teeth that lock together when the strap is closed, creating a more secure fit and taking the load. The Sixty’s upper is made from TechPro Microfibre. This innovative and eco-friendly leatherette offers durability, stability, and water-repellency. An anti-mould treatment helps fight the build-up of bacteria, whilst the upper’s Nylon mesh allows great breathability and creates an ideal microclimate inside the shoe for all day comfort. There are also Velcro tabs on the inside to keep the tongue perfectly in place. The heel is a fully integrated design, which has been reinforced to avoid deformations under prolonged use and provide extra support. Anatomically shaped, the heel stabilises the foot and helps prevent heel slip – essential for those tougher climbs, sprints and efforts. A Reflex insert provides greater safety by helping signal your presence to other road users in poor visibility. The Sixty embodies Sidi’s illustrious history and pedigree, whilst being ideal for the demands of modern-day riding and racing. These shoes represent Sidi’s ceaseless drive to provide and create the ultimate in road shoe design, providing you with beautiful style as well as performance. Key Features: New model to mark Sidi’s 60th anniversary. TechPro upper Tecno-4 closure system High security Velcro strap Full 3k carbon Vent sole Handmade in Italy
