EKOI Racing C12 road cycling shoes White

BUILT FOR THE PROS!

First and foremost, intended for professional cyclists, the Ekoï Road C12 Proteam shoe combines a very high level of performance with the essential comfort required for intensive use. It is the result of over three years of Ekoi’s research and development in close collaboration with professional cyclists . Cycling shoes are a sensitive topic for a professional rider, and they must be as close to perfection as possible. To achieve this goal, this new flagship of the EKOÏ racing range relies on three strengths:

FULL REAL CARBON SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE EKOÏ GEOMETRY FOR MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER

Ekoï's R&D department has designed and developed a brand-new sole for the Road C12 Proteam that is unique in terms of its shape and composition of exclusive carbon to meet the very high power transfer requirements of professional racers. On the material side, the sole is made entirely of braided carbon (Ekoï's full real Carbon concept). As a result, a radical strength-to-weight ratio is created, which is demanded by pro cyclists. In terms of geometry, our engineers have focused on the inner arch of the shoe to reinforce foot support and maximize explosiveness. Ekoï has developed a system of shim graduations for optimum power transfer for precise, repeatable adjustment. At equal power with the competition, an equipped cyclist "shimmed" with Ekoï Road C12 proteam shoes will make the difference.

EKOÏ EXCLUSIVE WRAP-AROUND CONSTRUCTION: ABSOLUTE SUPPORT AND COMFORT

To meet the first requirement of the pros' specifications, namely a high-performance shoe that's comfortable to wear, our engineers have created an exclusive fit. This adopts a highly encasing profile that eliminates all pressure points and provides a "slipper" effect. The BOA® Fit System with Dual-Dial Li2 and its performance fit wrap concept completes the hugging of the foot, which is maintained without any discomfort or pain. The cyclist can then deploy all their power comfortably.

The shoe's volume has also been designed with this in mind: the shoe is very close to the foot while offering sufficient space in the forefoot for long distances and warm conditions. This uncompromising comfort/support helps optimize performance. A durable material, leather contributes to the shoe's comfort thanks to its natural suppleness and breathability.

The Ekoï Road C12 proteam is designed for heavy-duty cycling and features an Ortholite® insole. Thanks to its open-cell X40 foam, it creates a fresh, dry, and healthy environment for the feet. Its density and cushioning performance guarantee maximum shock absorption over time without compromising push-off performance. Michelin® heel pads complete the 100% racing profile of this model for anti-slip and durability, as well as forefoot protection.

BOA® MICROMETRIC TIGHTENING AND MICROMETRIC LOOSENING: FOR TAILOR-MADE FIT AT EVERY MOMENT

When riding, riders need to vary their tightening depending on whether they're climbing, sprinting, or descending. That's why Ekoï has chosen the BOA Fit System with Dual-Dial Li2. This allows multidirectional adjustments for easy and intuitive tightening and loosening. The aluminum discs offer optimum grip and unprecedented durability, as well as high resistance to impact, abrasion, and dust. Meanwhile, zone tightening allows independent tension management (top and bottom of the foot) and favors tailor-made adjustments over the miles.
