Mavic Ultimate XC MTB Shoe - black/black/black

Power, efficiency and pure performance for XC, cyclocross or gravel racing. When speed matters most on off-road terrain, this lightweight shoe delivers best-in-class power transfer with a super-connected fit and feel. It’s the culmination of 10 years’ experience refining performance for demanding XC racers. Times have changed in XC and cyclocross racing. Tracks are more extreme, featuring steep climbs and descents, more technical challenges, and high-speed intensity. Power transfer and a seamless connection to the bike are more vital than ever. The Ultimate XC is made for modern off-road racing, with cutting-edge technologies to give you every advantage. The upper is designed with Matryx technology, a superlight and breathable material that’s five times more resistant to abrasion than most synthetic materials. It’s made with a weave of Polyamid and Kevlar yarns in the lacing zone for optimal support and durability. The upper is also fully coated to shed dirt and mud, and dry faster when it gets wet. Two BOA IP1 dials let you fine-tune the fit for comfortable foot support and maximum power transfer, and the totally redesigned sole is made with superlight and ultra-stiff unidirectional carbon fiber that’s embedded with an epoxy thermo resin. The fibers are laid up by hand and strategically positioned to optimize pedaling efficiency.
