The New Bont a-one cycling
shoe is unlike any other shoe on the market. It is a hand made one piece
construction that is incredibly light weight and strong.
The shoe is currently being worn by a number of Olympic and National
team riders from Australia, Great Britain, Korea and US Pro team riders.
These riders have given us extensive feedback on what they want from a
performance based shoe.
The shoes weigh just 250 grams including buckle. There will be 3 closing
options:
a) 2 Velcro straps and a top lace cover with buckle
b) 3 Velcro straps (super light weight version at 225 grams)
c) Laces and one top Velcro strap for the track (225 grams)
The shoe is super stiff and has the highest strength/weight ratio for
any bike shoe on the market. The shoe is made with a combination of uni
directional and cross weave Torayca carbon using Bonts’ famous 1 piece
construction.
The cleat mounting comes with a standard 3 hole mount but you can
re-drill the carbon base and place the mounting anywhere you choose. You
can also order the shoes as blanks with no holes drilled in them, this
allows you to drill them yourself for the ultimate custom fit.
The last (plastic foot) that the shoe is based on is a combination of
20,000 laser foot scans and Bont’s 33 year last making experience.
The shoe is fully heat moldable and can be molded in the oven. Bont
develops its own thermo moldable resin in house and has computer aided
resin mixes that calculate the exact hardener to resin ratio based on
the air temperature.
The shoe has 40 air vents per shoe (size 7) which go directly from the
outside air to the foot with no mesh in between.
