Ride Concepts is proud to debut its line of progressive, high-performance mountain bike footwear. Founded around a deep passion for mountain biking and the communities that it inspires, Ride Concepts comes to fruition after years of riding, market research, careful design and partnership development and is set on creating dirt-riding footwear that ups your game no matter where or how you ride.
Industry partnerships help Ride Concepts create durable, highly specialized footwear: D3O protection is molded throughout insoles on all shoes to reduce impacts taken from hard landings and extended riding on rugged terrain and is employed strategically to the uppers of some models to add extra protection where needed. Rubber Kinetics – an industry leader in the design, development, and manufacture of high-performance rubber compounds – formulated multiple proprietary rubber sole compounds, taking into account dry and wet grip, operating temperature windows (ranges) and durability.
The initial offering from Ride Concepts caters to both flat and clipless pedal riders, and is made up of three distinct shoe series; Session, Flow, and Launch, alongside a full line of synthetic and merino performance socks. Gender-specific lasts offer precision fit for men, women, and youth, allowing shredders of all ages the same access to highly technical kicks.
Ride Concepts will be shipping their Session series to dealers in late October with Flow and Launch series following later in the year.
