EXPLORER - FOCUSED FEATURES

EXPLORER SERIES footwear feature technologies to improve walkability and the touring experience, and new sustainably-minded designs to reduce their impact on the environment.

WALK WITH MORE CONFIDENCE

EXPLORER SERIES moves cleat positioning heelward to improve walking comfort by preventing cleat placement beneath high-pressure areas.

MID-FOOT CLEAT RANGE

Extended midfoot cleat range for better bike control and walkability

Plus, with this new cleat positioning, we could increase the forefoot rubber traction area by 50%.

SPECIAL EX MIDSOLE

HEEL IMPACT ABSORBER

Cushioning and comfort off the bike

EXPLORER SERIES’ original midsole design delivers almost triple the heel impact cushioning as some previous models. This unique EX midsole has a partially detached heel structure that allows it to move independently from the rest of the midsole to help soften heel impact while walking. The graph shows the tremendous improvement in heel displacement that our original midsole offers versus a standard midsole design.

MADE WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS

Our EXPLORER SERIES shoes introduce recycled materials without affecting fit, comfort, and pedaling performance. We continue to search for better ways to design and manufacture our cycling gear to reduce the impact on the areas you love to explore.
