During the Demo Carbon 2015<\/a> press launch, Specialized showed us the new 2FO shoes and a new DH tire.<\/p>\n

2FO Flat<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"61114-67_SHOE_2FO-FLAT-MTB_BLK-RED\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Slipnot\u2122 rubber compound developed in our tire lab to optimize shoe to pedal connectivity<\/p>\n

– Directional sharkskin tread profile grips pedals, with open rear hex pattern for traction<\/p>\n

– Injection molded toe kick, anti-tear toe, and high side cuff for lightweight armoring<\/p>\n

– Air mesh upper construction adds protection while quickly shedding water weight<\/p>\n

– Smooth thermobonded upper for lightweight durability and a snag-free profile<\/p>\n

\"_DSC2644\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Cushioned EVA midsole is sealed with a protective skin for support and tear resistance<\/p>\n

– Body Geometry equipped to optimize comfort and performance<\/p>\n

– Lacelock\u2122 elastic keeps laces in place and clear of snags. Extra set of color laces included<\/p>\n

– Relaxed-fit for a balance of pedal feel and off-bike comfort<\/p>\n

– Approximately 395g (1\/2 pair 9US\/42EU)<\/p>\n

\"61114-65_SHOE_2FO-FLAT-MTB_BLK-NEON-BLU\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2FO Clip<\/h2>\n

\"61114-62_SHOE_2FO-CLIP-MTB_WHT-BLK\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Landing Strip cleat pocket is optimized for effortless foot-out riding style with platform clippedals. Dual durometer sole uses firm rubber to control clip-in, and softer rubber for toe and heel traction<\/p>\n

– Stiff Lollipop\u2122 3\/4 cycling plate for high performance pedaling sits in a bed of EVA to soften landings and keep off-bike traction high<\/p>\n

– Injection molded toe kick, anti-tear toe, and high side cuff for lightweight armoring<\/p>\n

– Air mesh upper construction adds protection while quickly shedding water weight<\/p>\n

– Smooth thermobonded upper for lightweight durability and a snag-free profile<\/p>\n

\"_DSC2645\"<\/a><\/p>\n

– Cushioned EVA midsole is sealed with a protective skin for support and tear resistance<\/p>\n

– Body Geometry equipped to optimize comfort and performance<\/p>\n

– Lacelock\u2122 elastic keeps laces in place and clear of snags. Extra set of color laces included<\/p>\n

– Relaxed-fit for a balance of pedal feel and off-bike comfort<\/p>\n

– 2-bolt cleat pattern for compatibility with all major pedals<\/p>\n

– Approximately 450g (1\/2 pair 9US\/42EU)<\/p>\n

Curtis Keene used the Clip model during the Whistler EWS last weekend:<\/p>\n

\"_DSC6466\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Slaughter DH<\/h2>\n

Again, Curtis Keene has been using this tire during the Whistler EWS:<\/p>\n

\"_DSC6463\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Slaughter provides riders with a tire option that rolls fast and still offers confident cornering. A low-profile center tread ensures low-rolling resistance and secure braking, while tall side knobs provide the bite needed for cornering traction.<\/p>\n

– Casing: 60 TPI, Dual Ply<\/p>\n

– Compound: Base 70a \/ Top 42a<\/p>\n

– Bead: wire<\/p>\n

– Pinch Protection: Butyl Inserts at bead<\/p>\n
