Evergreen in the Ride Concepts range in a brand new generation. It's like RC's Freerider. Everything possible has been worked on and the result is a shoe with maximum comfort, protection and efficient power transfer to the pedal. According to RC's motto "ride every day", Livewire is ideal for the daily combination of cycling and walking. The model is ideal for trail, slopestyle, non-racing enduro. Designed for platform pedals. The new generation also comes with a new upper material , which is more durable, but also more breathable and lighter than its suede predecessor. In addition, the entire heel and inner part of the ankle is made of a new material that will not rub/rub against the frame or cranks. The construction of the Livewire model is identical to the Vice model, where the sole flows seamlessly into the upper and the connection is ensured by a combination of welding and stitching. While the Tallac, Hellion, Accomplice, Transition, etc. use a different construction, hardened in the order of sole, midsole and upper. This is more suitable for more performance-oriented riders. The toe and heel are specially protected by an integrated TPU protector. The upper part is treated against digging and puncture. A super added value is the inner liner protecting the heel and toe area with injected EVA foam. This makes the foot less tired and prone to wear and tear. 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. The High Grip outsole offers the perfect balance between grip and durability. High Grip is the dominant feature of the Vice, Vice Mid and Livewire models. There is also a more grippy Max Grip compound (Tallac, Hellion, Accomplice, Transition etc) but this has proven to be too grippy for the categories of riders the Livewire is designed for, plus it is so grippy for slopestyle oriented riders that it doesn't allow you to work the foot on hard tricks. High Grip hexagon-shaped EVA Dual Density insole compound absorbs shock and prevents injury Anti-slip laces with eyelet on tongue to secure them Antibacterial mesh lining to eliminate odour Tongue attached to the construction holds in place and prevents dirt ingress TPU toe and heel protection with reinforced abrasion layer External abrasion protection in the toe, heel and inner ankle area
