What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"After logging some serious trail miles in the Nox, I can confidently say these are some of the stiffest, most responsive MTB shoes I’ve ridden. The dual BOA® dials give me an insanely precise fit, and the XECARB® 30 sole delivers the power directly to the pedals with zero flex. They feel light but locked-in, even when hammering uphill or dismounting into techy hike-a-bike sections."When we’re pushing deep into singletrack or tackling high-alpine switchbacks, the Vittoria Nox Cycling Shoes keep us connected and in control. Born from Vittoria’s Velar road platform, the Nox takes performance up a notch for off-road demands—without sacrificing that streamlined, pro-level fit we love. The wraparound design hugs our feet with dual BOA® dials that stay snug mile after mile, while laser-perforated microfibre keeps the air flowing even on sunbaked climbs. But it’s the XECARB® 30 sole that really powers the experience. This composite sole balances stiffness and traction perfectly—stiff enough for sprint efforts and buttery smooth on hike-a-bike transitions thanks to its grippy tread. Paired with a customizable Performance Insole and reinforced toe and heel zones, the NOX gives us confidence on aggressive rides, rooty descents, and long days in the saddle.
