Designed for adventure-seeking cyclists that embrace the active outdoor lifestyle, the EX500 combines the comfort and capability of a hiking shoe with the high performance of a clip-in MTB shoe. The mesh upper is lightweight and breathable for a comfortable fit, while the ULTREAD EX rubber outsole with strategically placed SPD cleat pocket provides off-bike grip on slippery trails and optimal pedaling efficiency on the bike.

Off Bike Performance

• Grippy rubber ULTREAD EX outsole features technical lug pattern for outstanding traction on rugged or wet terrain. Shock-absorbing EVA cushioning in the midsole reduces stress and strain on your feet, while the high-volume, relaxed fit keeps you comfortable even on the most ambitious hike-a-bike adventures.

Pedaling Prowess

• The EX500 sets a new standard for off-road touring shoes with a rigid nylon midsole plate that reduces unwanted shoe flex, converting more of your energy into pedaling power. And the mesh upper keeps you comfortable and cool even on the hottest days, while the speed lace system with instep strap delivers a customized feel that secures your foot for a stable and confident pedaling stroke.
