Experience unparalleled performance on the trails with the Crank Brothers Mallet Speedlace MTB Shoes, designed specifically to complement Mallet DH pedals and elevate your riding experience. Crafted with precision, these shoes offer a unique 5mm longer track length, allowing for a slammed back cleat position that enhances control and stability, especially when navigating aggressive terrains and dropping your heels.

The upper combines innovative features such as a Speedlace system paired with a secure strap for quick and reliable adjustments. Ventilated perforated mesh windows ensure breathability, while TPU reinforcements and padded tongues provide protection and durability. Practical details like a lace pocket keep your laces tidy and safe, and heel dots deliver superior grip and hold, making every step confident and secure.

The outsole is optimized with the Match Box system, offering race zone cleat placement that maximizes control and stability. Its ramped design facilitates easy clip-in and clip-out, while mud clearance keeps your ride smooth in all conditions. Equipped with a pre-installed Crankbrothers match shim and cleat, these shoes are ready to ride right out of the box but also offer compatibility with any SPD cleat brand by simply removing the match shim. Additionally, the MC1 mid-friction compound ensures effortless pedal exit, and the angled toe and heel lugs provide excellent traction when hiking. A stiff shank enhances power transfer, while the cushioned EVA midsole absorbs shocks, keeping your feet comfortable during long rides.

What It’s Good For

• Providing exceptional control and stability on aggressive downhill trails.
• Quick and secure fit adjustments with the Speedlace and strap system.
• Breathability and durability through ventilated mesh and TPU reinforcements.
• Seamless compatibility with Crankbrothers pedals and any SPD cleats.
• Enhanced traction and walkability with specially designed toe and heel lugs.
• Efficient power transfer and shock absorption for all-day comfort.

What It’s NOT Good For

• Riders who prefer a more traditional lace system over Speedlace technology.
• Casual or urban cycling where aggressive trail features are unnecessary.
• Those requiring highly flexible soles instead of a stiff shank for pedaling efficiency.
• Use in water-heavy environments without additional waterproofing features.
