MXZ21 Mountain Bike Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"When I first tried the MXZ21, I was impressed by how it blends a true race-level carbon platform with the durability of a winter shoe. The grip from the outsole inspires confidence on icy hike-a-bike sections, and the speed laces make it easy to dial in a secure fit even with gloves on. It’s the kind of shoe that keeps you riding longer when the conditions are harsh."

The MXZ21 Mountain Bike Shoe is built for riders who demand performance without compromise, even in winter’s most unpredictable conditions. Engineered with Lake’s MX Sport last, it balances a roomy toe box with heel and midfoot control for both comfort and aggressive riding. A seam-taped membrane, soft-shell fabric, and Clarino microfiber work together to create a windproof, water-resistant barrier, while a DWR finish prevents saturation during wet rides.

Underfoot, the 100% carbon Competition midsole provides uncompromising stiffness for efficient power transfer, while the Mountain Competition rubber outsole offers sure-footed grip on slick ground. The outsole’s larger tread blocks are built to handle variable terrain and weather, making it a reliable option for adventure cyclists, commuters, and racers alike.

The replaceable speed-lace closure system ensures a secure, glove-friendly fit with easy adjustments, even on the move. Designed to perform down to 25°F/-4°C, the MXZ21 is a trusted solution for riders who don’t want the season to dictate their mileage.
