Gran Tourer Lace Gravel Cycling Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The stiffness-to-comfort ratio on the Gran Tourer Lace is spot on for gravel. It’s efficient enough for long climbs but forgiving enough for hours of chunky washboard. The outsole grips exceptionally well when you're off the bike, and the microfiber upper keeps its shape even after repeated muddy rides. It feels like a purpose-built adventure shoe because that’s exactly what it is."

Blending performance efficiency with off-bike capability, the Gran Tourer Lace is engineered for riders who transition seamlessly between tarmac, gravel, and multi-surface routes. Its nylon-composite sole provides solid power transfer for long climbs and steady tempo efforts, while the full GravelGrip rubber tread ensures confident traction during hike-a-bike sections, stream crossings, and technical dismounts typical of gravel racing and bikepacking.

The abrasion-resistant microfiber upper sheds debris and cleans easily after muddy or dusty outings, maintaining durability through repeated long-distance use. A sculpted heel cup stabilizes the foot on rough terrain, and the quick-drying interior lining minimizes moisture retention during long rides or wet-weather events. QUOC’s double-lock lace closure enables precise fit control for varying foot shapes and riding conditions, ensuring secure midfoot and forefoot support without pressure points.

Ventilation ports channel airflow through the upper to help moderate temperature during high-intensity efforts, and the vibration-absorbing insole smooths prolonged chatter on washboard surfaces. The fully recessed SPD cleat mount integrates seamlessly with the outsole for efficient pedaling while preserving natural stride and walkability. Designed for gravel riders, endurance cyclists, and multi-day bikepackers, the Gran Tourer Lace excels when routes demand comfort, stability, and predictable traction across changing terrain.
