Bontrager debuted their Rally clipless shoe this past year at Crankworx Whistler. The shoe, based off of Bontrager’s Flatline shoe, is the brand’s first flat sole style clipless offering. They were developed in conjunction with Trek’s enduro and gravity teams, and are targeted at riders looking for the benefits of a flat pedal style shoe but with the security of being clipped in.
The shoes have a synthetic leather upper, abrasion-resistant, reinforced toe and heel caps, and a shock-absorbing EVA midsole. The shoe has siped tread at the toe and heel to provide traction off the bike and then a large open platform in the center to allow the rider to easily clip in. Cleats can be placed over a wide range, with enough room to accommodate rides who prefer their cleats positioned closer to the midfoot.
