TECHNOLOGY

SHIMANO PEDALING DYNAMICS: Comfort to the Walk SHIMANO invented SPD to meet the needs of a growing frontier lifestyle called MTB. By eliminating toe-clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into a single, unified power transfer system, SHIMANO changed the industry; not only boosting power to the pedal but also the rider’s control over increasingly adventurous styles of riding. Today there’s no single MTB style, and no single SPD pedal to match. It’s all over the landscape, from fast-paced XC racing to steep, rocky, wet, rooted and muddy trails. SHIMANO SPD pedals are keeping up. The legacy of “in-the-dirt” dependability, reliability and sheer endurance continues as shoe-pedal designs evolve to meet the needs of your personal style of ride. System-engineered. Rider-tuned. You choose. On/off the bike SPD is a system that performs whether you’re on or off the bike. It makes pedaling more efficient with a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles, and the recess cleat makes walking more comfortable. You can pedal with greater efficiency, stability and comfort with the SPD system.

ULTREAD: The all-new mountain bike shoe sole technology that delivers superior durability and an extraordinary grip. With an all-new rubber compound from Shimano, ULTREAD combines precisely engineered tread patterns with an advanced proprietary rubber blend to keep riders planted on and off the bike. Lightweight ULTREAD XC rubber outsole delivers competition-grade grip and riding performance that lasts. Our MTB cross-country and cyclocross racing formulated rubber is optimally applied with lightweight outsole patterns to maximize performance in dry and wet conditions. Gravity-optimized ULTREAD GR rubber compound and tread pattern deliver legendary pedal grip and control. This specially-formulated soft, springy, and durable rubber compound is laid out in a grippy hexagonal block pattern to help the shoes sink in and grip pedal pins from any direction.

UPPER Technology: The construction of our uppers and closure systems are customized to the characteristics of each rider’s foot. Our Surround Wrapping Upper surrounds the whole foot with a seamless piece of leather, which creates a better fit with fewer gaps between shoes and feet.
