Designed using some of the most innovative materials available today, this smart, ultra-capable new trail shoe is everything you need to climb higher, descend faster and venture farther on your wildest riding adventures. The upper is constructed with patented Matryx technology, which features a Kevlar-woven polyamide. This makes the shoe super durable and also offers superior foot support and breathability. The result is comfort, efficiency and a lightweight feel for efficient pedaling. The Energy Grip outsole further boosts efficiency with a stiff pedaling platform, and the Contagrip tread gives you superb traction in wet or dry trail conditions. A cushioned EVA midsole and padded tongue add plush comfort, and the QuickLace closure with a top strap provides a quick-and-easy tightening and adjustability so you can dial in the fit to your preference. Whatever route you choose, whatever terrain you might face, the XA Matryx helps you reach your destination with comfort, efficiency and style. Energy Grip Trail Outsole offers stability and pedal control so you can ride harder. New Contagrip tread offers superb traction and durability, and is 25% more grippy in the wet and dry than the leading competitor. Rigid internal plate delivers efficient pedaling performance, but is also flexible enough for walking.
