Tallac is the flagship product of Ride Concepts. It uses only the best technology and materials. It combines elements of a bike shoe and an off-road shoe that is designed to grip on and off the bike. Model designed for trail, enduro use. The outsole stiffness and overall construction suits both the casual rider and enduroseries race tracks. The Cordura® upper is breathable and lightweight, yet incredibly durable. Cordura is used where high abrasion resistance is needed. Almost no seams were used, everything is thoroughly welded. The reason is again resistance to damage and water penetration. Tightening with non-slip laces with one Velcro fastening at the top of the shoe. The tongue has a loop on it to keep the laces from moving freely and getting caught on an obstacle. The tongue is elastically attached to the construction of the shoe to hold it in place and prevent the ingress of dirt. 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! Clip Grip outsole with a distinctive pattern inspired by off-road footwear. Front and rear section modified for grip when walking down and up the trail with significant toe and heel overlap. The Clip Grip sole compound is used in models designed for SPD and has the ideal ratio of grip, durability and stiffness for forward force transfer. Development result with Rubber Kinetics (Good Year). 42 mm wide and extremely long pedal house for absolute certainty in every situation. Inserted plastic sleeve under the suitcase location as additional sole support.
