The Crankbrothers Mallet Lace clipless shoe looks great both on the race track and in the bike park. The innovative Match system optimizes engagement for every MTB clipless system, whether it's 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.

The angled Match cleat box provides easy access to the pedals from both the front and back, preventing mud from getting in. An extra-stiff carbon fiber shaft efficiently transfers power when climbing or sprinting.

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

The outsole profile 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.

The classic lacing system offers a uniform closure with round laces and a pocket for securely stowing the laces.

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 rocks and impacts.
