OUTSOLE TECHNOLOGY

Our outsole patterns and materials are also tailored for each type of riding surface, style, and course. SHIMANO off-road shoes feature high-quality rubber outsoles that offer great traction on various surfaces, better grip to pedal via pins, and even higher durability. The performance of off-road shoes is also heavily influenced by the pattern and quality of the rubber outsole material.

OUR ULTIMATE RUBBER AND TREAD TUNED FOR EACH RIDING STYLE.

Durable & Lightweight

Lightweight ULTREAD XC rubber outsole delivers competition-grade grip and riding performance that last.
Our MTB cross-country and cyclocross racing formulated rubber is optimally applied with lightweight outsole patterns to support performance in dry and wet conditions.

Stable Pedaling & Walking

Lightweight ULTREAD EX rubber outsole and pattern optimized for challenging adventures on and off the bike.

Secure Flat Pedal Grip

Gravity-optimized ULTREAD GF rubber compound and tread pattern deliver legendary pedal grip and control.
This specially-formulated soft and durable rubber compound’s slow rebound qualities and grippy hexagonal block pattern improve traction by keeping the outsole in contact with the pedals over choppy terrain.

Technical Descents & Tough Transfers

Enduro-optimized SHIMANO ULTREAD GE outsoles are tuned for intense downhill riding and superior traction for challenging uphill sections off the bike.
Its grippy hexagonal tread, expanded Pedal Channel, and unique toe and heel patterns make this gravity-riding outsole proficient at handling technical descents and uphill climbs on slippery surfaces.
