Crankbrothers Mallet Boa MTB Clipless Cycling Shoes

Mallet Boa MTB Clipless Cycling Shoes (25th Anniversary)

Launched to celebrate the Crankbrothers 25th anniversary, these limited-edition Mallet Boa MTB Clipless Cycling Shoes combine the same innovative design features as the original, alongside a unique splatter pattern, contrast gum outsole, and silver accents. 

Still overflowing with features to make your mountain biking experience more comfortable and more assured, the Mallet Boa MTB Clipless Cycling Shoes benefit from the same attention to detail that Crankbrothers apply to their pedals. The clever Match System optimises cleat engagement for any MTB clip-in system, keeping you confidently in control when flying over technical terrain.

The sleek and stylish upper design uses premium materials, delivering a snug comfortable fit as well as excellent trail-ready durability. Perforations and mesh windows offer excellent breathability to avoid sweat build-up inside and ensure you enjoy fresh feet throughout your ride. A reinforced toe box protects against impacts while TPU reinforcements add abrasion resistance in vulnerable areas. A padded tongue also adds an extra layer of comfort and protection. 

Match Box MTB Pedal System

Crankbrothers have carefully engineered their unique Match Box cleat box to ensure you enjoy quick and easy clipping in, no matter which clip-in MTB pedal system you prefer.

Ramped zones to the front and rear of the cleat box make for a quick and easy cleat engagement and add extra mud clearance for all-weather performance. An extended cleat track, the ‘race zone’, lets you get just the right cleat position for bike control and pedal stability too. And with its stiff shank, you’ll enjoy excellent power transfer on the more pedal-heavy bits of trail. 

Meanwhile, when you’re off the bike and walking up to session a trail feature, the toe and heel lugs provide traction on loose and muddy surfaces and the toe is ramped for improved walkability too. 

Twist and Go

Making adjustment super-quick and super-easy, the BOA® Fit System lets you dial in the fit of your shoes just right every time. A simple twist of the dial offers micrometric adjustment, so your shoes are never too tight and never too loose. Plus, it’s easy to adjust on-the-fly and it’s light too.
