The Bontrager Race Lite Mountain Shoes, Good Cycling Shoes

The Bonrager Race Lite Mountain shoe, Bontrager is the component and apparel division of Trek/Cary Fisher family, and the Race Lite Mountain is one of the shoes offered for mountain biking.

Bontrager begins with an inForm design that they hope delivers the ideal amount of toe-spring, with the toes at a slight angle in relation to the carbon-reinforced sole to help stabilize the foot while cycling. The Bontrager Race Lite Mountain shoe uses a derby cut pattern, where the tongue extends to the toe. This makes the volume of the toe box more adjustable in order to accommodate a wider variety of feet. The Race Lite Mountain shoe comes with an insole exclusively designed for Bontrager by eSoles, and the heal cup is designed to eliminate heel slip.

The Bontrager Race Lite Mountain shoe's upper is made from synthetic leather and nylon with air-mesh tongue pad. Our pair of size 8 shoes weighed about 500 grams without cleats.

Each Bontrager Race Lite Mountain Shoe uses two hook-and-loop straps and one ratchet strap. Once snugged, the Bontrager Race Lite Mountain shoe offers a fit that rivals the best of Italian cycling shoes. That's saying a lot. There are no obvious pressure points, and there is plenty of toe room. It is like the shoe has been wrapped around your foot. The shoe offers great pedaling performance and just enough give for hike-a-bike sections. It also dries quickly. The shoe's design and thick stitching appear tough enough to last at lest a few seasons, and at only 4,500 Baht, that's impressive.

Keeping the Bontrager Race Lite Mountain shoe from a higher-star rating is the large size of the main strap's ratchet buckle. It will occasionally catch on trail shrubbery or scrape on rocks. The Bontrager Race Lite Mountain shoes are sold at Trek and Cary Fisher dealers. You can get more information by calling 02-2533384.
