Product Information

I started by answering the weight and stiffness question before jumping into the meat of the question here. And when you do fall, just remember that there’s no need to feel embarrassed – it happens to all of us! As a kid, that usually results in a tumble unless you're savvy and not spooked by your trapped foot and remember to put the other one down.

Over the upper part of the foot, where the top BOA dial controls retention, is a carbon fibre fabric from Carbitex. You also get the same hard wearing upper that is easy to clean and the same BOA dials that look amazing but don't pop to release. In addition, while looks are pretty subjective, we can’t help but feel like Crankbrothers missed an opportunity to make the new shoe stand out with less generic styling. And with a moderately thick midsole and recently upgraded rubber—their new Max Grip compound is a bit softer and stickier than the outgoing model—you have a shoe that crosses over nicely between flowy trail days and bike park laps.With this latest Roost version, Specialized has nailed the rubber blend, with a sole that stays fully planted in all-conditions. With a light and breathable construction and moderately rigid platform, it can put the power down on punchy climbs, but it’s also protective, lightly padded, and quite comfortable inside.

As well as more general grip, the Elite version of the Hellion has anti-bacterial lining to help ward off the dreaded ‘cat urine’ aroma that oft arises on riding shoes after a season of proper usage. Five Ten has done a decent job addressing the stability issues, and although it’s still not quite as supportive as the Freerider Pro that’s made up for that with exception grip.One thing to be aware of though is that, as the sole is a bathtub design, with carbon sides, if your feet are too wide they are going to butt up against solid carbon rather than flexible material, so fit is paramount. Best known for their top-notch suspension forks and shocks, Fox has been dabbling more and more in the MTB apparel and accessory world.
