The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace clipless shoe performs well both on the race track and in the bike park. The innovative Match system optimizes engagement for any MTB clipless system, whether Crankbrothers or SPD. The shoe comes pre-assembled with a Match Shim and Crankbrothers cleat in a neutral position, allowing it to be used immediately with Crankbrothers pedals.

Match Box
The angled Match Cleat Box provides easy access to the pedals at the front and rear while preventing mud from entering. An extra-stiff carbon fiber shaft efficiently transfers power when climbing or sprinting.

Match Compound
The medium-friction rubber compound (MC1) allows for easy entry and exit from the pedals and is durable enough to withstand wear. The radial cleat pattern around the cleat ensures smooth disengagement from the pedal body.

Match Outsole
The tread is designed for traction off the bike. Direction-specific angled and spaced toe and heel lugs provide grip when climbing and descending in steep terrain. The tapered toe area ensures stability in steep conditions.

Closure System
The classic lacing system offers an even closure with round laces and a pocket for securely storing the laces.

High-Quality Materials
The Crankbrothers shoes feature a synthetic upper made from high-quality materials for breathability, protection, and comfort. Perforated materials and mesh windows provide ventilation to keep feet cool in hot weather and dry quickly in wet conditions. Reinforced TPU in the toe area offers protection against impacts and abrasions.
