The Bont Riot MTB is the world’s first carbon composite heat moldable entry level MTB shoe to offer in the marketplace. The Riot MTB has combined the pro series technical features including the power transfer platform, replaceable sole guards, anatomical shaping and competition grade materials. The upper is constructed from a strong microfiber outer layer with mesh inserts that help the breathability of the shoes, the carbon composite construction has been specifically designed to keep the weight low. The fibreglass tub style construction of the chassis has been strengthened with carbon across high stress areas for durability and there is carbon in between the layers of fibreglass for added strength. The MTB has Z form Velcro and a micro adjustable buckle for a precise fit, while there are integrated top mesh panels and ventilation holes throughout the side microfiber panels to help keep your feet cool. The MTB feature a protective replaceable grip plate with spike mounts in toe section and the structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided to stop over pronation of feet, the most common reason for knee injuries during cycling.

The MTB feature Bont’s anatomical shape that  positions the foot in the most efficient and anatomically correct position for cycling whilst maintaining support to help relax the metatarsal joints to promote a pedalling force that spreads across a large surface area. These shoes also feature an anatomical heel cup for increased stability and the lateral forefoot support promotes a neutral position. I was surprised to find a mouldable shoe at this price and I will admit I was sceptical as to how well they would perform. I found they provided a good transfer of power and they were well ventilated which kept your feet cool no matter how hard you peddled. However you can feel they aren’t high end shoes and not as comfortable or as skin tight as the more expensive models Bont have to offer. Our advice, great for entry level and commuting but could become irritating for more serious cyclists. RRP $99
