The Hellion Elite Cycling Shoe is for novice and advanced riders alike who want to get out on the trails with serious pedal control and grip. Rain or shine, these shoes are designed to offer pedal connection and sensitivity thanks to a DST 4. 0 Max Grip rubber outsole. Shock absorption and support, however, comes from the EVA midsole, and anti-abrasion toe and heel protection guards against impact. Breathability and comfort come from the shoe's lightweight microfiber upper and an anti-odor mesh lining so we can keep riding without the elements interfering.
