About this product
The MXZ21 is designed to be a lighter-weight and more athletic-fitting high-performance inclement weather cycling shoe. Built on a carbon fiber and real rubber sole, it maintains incredible power transfer to the pedal, along with grip and stability on slippery ground conditions. The MXZ21 combines this high-performance sole with a windproof and highly water-resistant upper for foot comfort, while unlimited adjustable speed laces lock your feet in for fast-paced pedal stroke stability.
Sizing Suggestion: For use with winter weight socks we recommend ordering 1-1.5 sizes up from your usual Lake Cycling shoe size.
Last
MX Competition Last – Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort last and with slightly more overall volume than the Sport last. Exceptionally secure for hard riding/racing with enough room in the toe box to prevent binding when running up inclines or negotiating a hike-a-bike section. Designed for performance riding & racing.
Outsole
Lake's Competition midsole is 100% carbon fiber and is combined with the Mountain Competition real rubber sole, which offers extended protection. The Mountain Competition rubber sole includes larger tread blocks that provide excellent grip on nearly all surfaces. This design ensures a stable and sure-footed cycling shoe suitable for wet weather and various conditions.
Upper
The upper features soft-shell fabric, water-resistant microfiber, and a wicking liner with a seam-taped membrane barrier. Designed to be highly water-resistant, suitable for cold and wet conditions, light to moderate rain and road spray, but not fully waterproof in prolonged heavy rain. Clarino microfiber provides excellent durability and the suppleness of leather with a significant weight reduction. The upper is then treated with a DWR (Durable Water Resistant) coating that prevents the upper from absorbing water. Like all other products with water-resistant functionality, this DWR coating will need to be reapplied using a readily available DWR spray found in the marketplace. Exposure to elements such as rain and mud will eventually wash away this DWR coating, necessitating reapplication when used frequently in those conditions.
Closure
Speed-laces offer durability and fast opening and closing while remaining locked in place. Easily replaceable speed-laces provide worry-free, unlimited, and ultimate customization for an optimal, secure fit and unmatched comfort.
Temperature Rating
Down to 25.5°F/-3.6°C
Water Resistance
The uppers are treated with a durable water resistant (DWR) coating that will wear away over time. We recommend reapplying a DWR spray 1-2 times a year for moderate riders and every 2-3 wet rides for daily riders.The MXZ21 is highly water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It protects against road spray and rain but is not fully sealed. In prolonged heavy rain, some water ingress should be expected.
