Specialized 2FO shoes


The new 2FO – it stands for ‘foot out, flat out’ – comes in flat and clipless versions and is aimed squarely at all-mountain and DH riders, with a focus on pedal connection, comfort and protection.

- Spesh worked with their tyre department to develop the Slipnot rubber compound used on the soles. On the flat pedal shoe, the focus is on grip and durability, with a tighter-packed tread on the forefoot for a better pedal connection.

- The clipless shoe has a dual-durometer sole, with a firmer compound and lower tread around the cleat cut-out – an area dubbed the ‘Landing Strip’ by Specialized – to help guide the foot in.

- The upper and tongue are made from a mesh material that dries quickly and is breathable too.

- The injection-moulded toe bumper does a good job of fending off rock strikes.

- Inside the shoe, a Body Geometry footbed ensures the fit is spot-on.

PRICE: Flat 130$, Clip 180$
