Technologies and manufacturing processes

Elixir sole
Grip it and rip it - the perfect combination of traction, durability and pedal feel. The Elixir sole made from a special rubber compound with a hexagonal profile provides plenty of grip both on and off the pedals. For added control, protection and power transmission, we have developed a stiffer outsole that also minimizes fatigue. The cushioning properties of the Elixir sole ensure a smooth ride despite tough conditions. All this makes this sole versatile and reliable, no matter what terrain you are riding on.
Insole
This insole has been developed for versatile riders and offers exceptional support and comfort on both the ascent and descent.
Tongue
To protect your foot and boost your confidence, the tongue is equipped with shock-absorbing foam that reduces impact energy. This particularly thin, lightweight and comfortable shock-absorbing foam dissipates impact energy without impairing mobility.
Protective toe cap and heel
A rubber cap on the toes and a rubber rand on the heel ensure exceptional durability.
Lacing
The Flite offers an optional recessed cord, which also improves durability.
Shoelace bag
The drawstring pockets on the side and in the tongue offer additional protection and style.
