What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wear the Mallet Trail Vent when the trail is hot and I know I'll be on the bike for hours. The mesh upper moves air without sacrificing the stiff platform I need for efficient pedaling."Why We Like ItThe Mallet Trail Vent adds a highly ventilated mesh upper to the Mallet family, making it the go-to choice for summer riding when heat buildup is the enemy. The MATCH outsole treats the shoe and pedal as a unified system, with MC1 mid-friction compound tuned for smooth cleat entry and exit. A fiber-reinforced nylon shank stiffens the platform for efficient power transfer, and a low-rebound EVA midsole cushions without losing ground feel. Speed lace closure dials in quickly and stays put through technical terrain.
