Bont Riot MTB+ (BOA) Cycling Shoe

The Riot MTB+ combines Bont Cycling's professional-series technical features including an anatomical power transfer platform for greater efficiency, replaceable sole guards, unique carbon composite shaping, competition-grade materials and BOA dial Fit System to create the most technically-advanced entry-level MTB shoe available.

Heat Moldable Fit

Bont Cycling's proprietary resin has been perfected over the last 40 years and is designed to become malleable at relatively low temperatures. The carbon chassis (base) of all Bont Cycling shoes can be heat molded at home without the need for specialist equipment.

Bont Cycling shoes feature a unique bathtub-style construction which allows for small changes to fit and shape, not size. Any 'stiff' area can be adjusted during the heat molding process however, limitations do exist due to the characteristics of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is not a highly flexible material nor is it designed to stretch when in its finished state and it's only through Bont Cycling's resin mix that allows it to be adjusted during the heat molding process.

Last Design

A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Traditional last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts designed for everyday walking shoes. Surprisingly, the majority of other brands still use a traditional dress shoe last when building their cycling shoes.. Bont Cycling, on the other hand, has been perfecting its performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing.  This is why they believe Bont Cycling shoes continue to be the leader in providing the most functional and anatomically correct support to cyclists. Their motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, "we make shoes for cycling, not walking."

Medial Longitudinal Arch Support

Overpronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclist's pedaling phase - due to internal rotation of the tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of the tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in the Riot+ to stop over pronation of feet. This is also supported by Bont Cycling’s lateral forefoot support.
