Trail-oriented clipless all terrain bike shoe with a combined lace/velcro closure and superior hiking abilities.

Based on the SupTraction Rubber Soul CL (CL for clipless) and with an EVA midsole the Rascal offers much more than uncompromising power transmission onto the pedal: its construction combines stiffness in the longitudinal axis with flexibility in the lateral axis and the upper. This torsional construction principle helps to prevent the foot from tilting on the pedal. Special dedicated climbing and pedal zones on the tread ensure traction both on and off the pedal. In addition, the lacing, especially the Serpen_Tie (Rascal only), makes sure the upper is perfectly closed, thus adapting to the individual needs and different shapes of the foot.

Toetal_Protection (an injected toe cap) and No-Sew_Reinforcements absorb and dissipate the forces when the foot hits a rock or roots, protecting both the shoe and its contents. The asymmetrically shaped upper as well as the Ankle_Pad protect the foot on the crank side while still offering full freedom of movement. The combination of heel hold (through preshaped heel and internal padding), a supportive foot bed with a 2C (=two component) insole and cushioned midsole offers outstanding comfort. Laser cut Jet_Stream ventilation holes and fabrics ensure a balanced foot climate.

+ Compatible with all common MTB pedal systems.

Features of the ION Rascal MTB Clipless bike shoe:

• SupTraction_Rubber Soul CL: Newly developed clipless sole. Designated areas for improved traction on and off the pedal: Great walking abilities even on slippery grounds.
• ToeTal_Protection: Reinforced toe cap to absorb and deviate the forces when hitting a rock or a root.
• Serpen_Tie: Combined lacing and velcro closure system to ensure proper fixation of the foot inside the shoe.
• No-Sew_Reinforcement: Reinforcements on most exposed and stressed areas.
• Jet_Stream: Lasercut ventilation holes for additional climate comfort.
• Ankle_Pad: Extra padding towards the cranks to protect the ankles.
• 2K_InSole: Two components providing both damping of foot pads and support of the arch. Results in less fatigue of the feet on long rides.
