The right model for enduro riding. Designed for platform pedals. The Hellion Elite is Hellion's fancier brother. It differs with a lighter, more breathable and yet more durable upper material, which is the first time ever in RC shoes made from ecological recycling. In addition, the construction of the shoe uses almost no seams, everything is thoroughly welded. The reason is simple, resistance to damage and water penetration. Ride Concepts is the only manufacturer to use D3O technology across multiple models. Everyone knows D3O from the bike protectors (Race Face, Bluegrass...). The insole has integrated D3O protectors in the heel and toe area for protection from impact or missed double and subsequent heel stepping. The foot is less tired and prone to wear and tear thanks to D3O. You won't find this technology anywhere else! 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. 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. Max Grip hexagonal outsole compound EVA midsole provides support and shock absorption D3O® High Impact Zone Technology insole absorbs shock and prevents injury Lightweight welded upper made from eco-friendly, recycled synthetic leather Anti-slip laces with eyelet on tongue to secure them Antibacterial mesh lining to eliminate odor Tongue attached to construction holds in place and prevents dirt from entering TPU toe and heel protection with reinforced abrasion layer Loop for easy on/off
