Accomplice has your back wherever your ride takes you. They were made with comfort and versatility in mind. Model designed for trail use. The outsole stiffness is not so much designed for world-class enduro tracks, but rather for everyday trails and some bikepark. In short, for riders looking for a comfortable shoe with lifestyle features. The design of the Accomplice is original with an integrated tongue that makes the shoe a kind of sock you slip into.the tongue transitions smoothly around the ankle into the heel and vice versa. This ensures a really high level of comfort and the complete elimination of dirt ingress. Unlike its competitors in this price range, Accomplice uses a welding construction, not stitching the sole to the upper. Accomplice is constantly based on higher enduro models, which consist of three layers, not two. Soles, midsoles with EVA foam and uppers.all with a minimum of seams with a preponderance of welding for durability and integrity. Tightening with non-slip laces . The tongue has a loop on it to keep the laces from moving freely and getting caught on an obstacle. RC's top models use D3O protection in the insert, which no other manufacturer has. But Accomplice doesn't come short either. The insole has EVA foam panels in the heel and instep area. It protects against impacts or a missed double and subsequent heel step. The foot is less tired and prone to abrasions thanks to the EVA foam. The Max Grip outsole offers the perfect balance between grip and durability. The most grippy sole compound designed for platform pedals. RC could make a sole that sticks literally like glue, but would that sole last long? Max Grip is the result of a development with Rubber Kinetics (Good Year). Perfect grip with every platform on the market. Just enough stiffness to transfer power to the pedal.
