Shimano M200 MTB SPD Cycling Shoes Black UK 5 (RRP: £129.99)

Faster with more control. Combining the light weight and pedalling effectiveness of a xc shoe with the durability, grip, and armor aggressive trail riders require.

TORBAL

Shimano’s new TORBAL (Torsional Balance) Technology better connects the rider and pedal with what the bicycle is doing underfoot while maintaining comfort and flexibility through all ranges of rider motion. TORBAL allows the outsole to twist, allowing for lateral movement of the rider, while keeping the forefoot aligned with the pedal.

This encourages a natural rider “flow” motion, improving control especially during technical downhill, and allowing aggressive trail riders to push their limits even further.
