The Trailcross range was built from the ground up, starting with the Five Ten dotted outsole with the addition of a recessed cleat to clip into compatible pedals. This was then refined with hiking in mind, bringing the additional ridged grip to the toe and heel. The Trailcross Clip-In is a lightweight and breathable shoe. With the need for the shoe to provide all-day comfort but also deliver across the contact points on and off the bike, the mid-sole EVA technology provides the necessary toe flex for hiking, without losing the all-important stiffness. The Trailcross Clip-In utilizes a hook and loop closure for added security and to reduce heel lift. Clip-in pedal users no longer need to compromise when planning their next adventure.

To give a break to the 26 bones that squash and squeeze in your foot while you’re riding, we have patented a unique X-Comfort Zone. It’s a small section inside the shoe that can expand up to 5 millimeters to prevent numbness. Without any extension system, the toes end up on top of each other and get numb. Thanks to this innovation, you won’t have to end your ride before you’re done ever again. For great performance, we’ve used a carbon composite sole that optimizes energy transfer on the pedal. We wish you an excellent season! - Technology : RACER FIT: High-performance fit reduces stack height to pedal - Integrated X-Comfort Zone technology with better stretch - Outsole: Patented Carbon Composite outsole - Insole: COOLMAX®: Moisture wicking, breathable and ventilated - Closure System: Boa Li2: mechanism generates higher power with finer resolution - Cleats: SPD-SL compatible with 3 bolt
