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 XC upper. BOA Dial And Velcro Closure IP1 BOA dials have been fitted to the Vaypor XC for ease of adjustment. The BOA dial is centrally located to minimise potential damage normally associated with side mounted retention systems. The IP1 system includes dual directional micro adjustment as well as quick release functionality. Velcro Forefoot retention to further assist in fit adjustment. Grip Plate Sole has been designed to maximize grip and minimize retention of dirt & mud. Grip components are replaceable with spike mounts located in toe section. Bumpers Bumpers fitted in key area to protect foot. TPU Toe Protector The toe protector protects the front area of the shoe from wheel rub and impact. 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 XC 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 XC 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 XC 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.

It has removable and washable inner padding, made from CoolMax® fabrics and its inner padding fabric has been treated using the Sanitized® antimicrobial process. KASK has also continued to use its Multi In-Moulding Technology to create a polycarbonate cover for the top, base ring and the back of the helmet’s shell. This is joined to the inner polystyrene cap via KASK’s In-Moulding Technology to improve the shell’s shock absorption. Its strengthened frame further reduces the risk of a shock breaking the shell.
Shimano 105 chainsets are known the world over for their reliability and performance. Having been refined from the previous version the 105 R7100 furthers this reputation. For this edition, Shimano have carefully engineered the R7100 crankset to offer an excellent balance between stiffness, strength, weight, as well as rotational performance. The result is a chainset equally suited to big days riding in the mountains, as it is fast bunch rides. Trickledown Performance Thanks to the benefit of trickle-down technology, the difference in quality between a 105 chainset and the more premium Dura-Ace or Ultegra versions is closer than ever. Now, with the addition of Di2 to the 105 R7150, the decision to purchase anything more expensive is even less justifiable. That is, of course, unless you simply want to spend the money on the flashiest tech around! All The Tech As with any product from the Japanese component giants, the FC-R7100 chainset employs some of the company’s top tech. Shimano’s famed Hollowglide technology means the outer chainring is hollow, to reduce weight but is engineered to do so without diminishing strength. This is the same technology employed on a number of the brand’s cranksets, including the top-tier models: Dura-Ace and Ultegra. Additionally, Hollowtech II technology is used to keep weight to a minimum, while maintaining strength and stiffness. The result is a crankset that won’t leave you bogged down on a climb and ensures maximum power transfer from your legs to forward motion. Again, this is the same technology employed in Shimano’s top-of-the-range models. Whether it’s the perfect chainset for big days out on the saddle or something for racing your local criterium the 105 R7100 is the perfect option, particularly for those slooking at a more affordable price range. It offers smooth shifting, an excellent balance between weight and stiffness, and won’t break the bank. Product Features: The Hollowglide structure reduces weight but maintains strength Crank Arm Lengths: 160, 165, 170, 172.5 and 175mm Gear Combination: 50-34T Q-factor: 148mm Weight: 765.6g (50T, 172.5)
The Vittoria Corsa G2.0 is a tubular road race bike tyre that is bursting with technology and the tyre of choice for many riders in the pro peloton. At the heart of this new tyre lies the super supple 320 TPI Corespun-K cotton casing that helps the tyre to conform closer to the tarmac, which increases grip, reduces rolling resistance and improves ride quality. Famous for their use and development of graphene in road bike tyres, Vittoria has refined their latest G2.0 compound. With this new graphene compound, Vittoria can now manipulate the core molecular structure of the rubber to specifically enhance the speed, grip, durability or reliability of a tyre. Going a step further and using the G2.0 compound in conjunction with 4C technology, Vittoria can even optimise the rubber compound in different areas of a tyre's tread. Using this technology, the centre of the Vittoria Corsa G2.0 is optimised for lower rolling resistance and speed, while the tyre's shoulder is designed to offer improved grip when cornering hard. To maximise tyre durability and puncture protection, Vittoria has even added an additional layer of tougher compound underneath the outer layer of rubber.

The Latch™ is built to be the best connection possible between you and flat pedals—especially when the trail gets fast and rowdy. We started with a new fit that brings the foot closer to the pedal and flattens the sole profile, optimizing the contact patch between sole and pedal. Then we collaborated with a team of rubber engineers to formulate Tack™ Rubber, a highly elastic compound that matches grip with durability in our new Gamma tread design. And at the heart of the shoe is a revelation in performance called Mute™ Foam, a midsole foam that's specially engineered with a slow-rebound action that cuts chatter and vibration to help keep you connected to the pedal, regardless of ruts, roots and rocks. The unique combination of fit,a fast-drying Microfiber upper, the grip of Tack Rubber and the damping of Mute Foam makes Latch a new benchmark in flat pedal performance.
