We don't like dumping out our wallets for good gear--the bike was already enough. That's why we finish off our gravel kit with Genetix Plus 2 Mountain Bike Shoe. Its high-value design is great for long distances on gravel roads, thanks to an incredibly stiff sole that instantly sends power to the drivetrain so we're always moving. A highly breathable and ventilated upper regulates the temp of our stumps for longer, more sustainable riding.
