Ergolace 2 Flat wants you to ride further, more often and to take your bike to the places that you’ve dreamed of. A new and improved version of a favourite among trail riders, bikepackers, and gravel grinders. Ergolace 2 Flat has an updated shape that’s wider in the metatarsal area, providing more freedom for toes and an overall roomier fit that increases comfort for long days spent on the bike, or long minutes spent pushing it.The right choice for every off-road adventure, from daily exploration to longer bikepacking trips or even backcountry missions aboard an e-MTB, Ergolace is back and better than ever.

The upper features a lightweight and breathable ripstop fabric, eliminating any excess materials and bulk, helping the shoes dry fast and feel faster. Wide PU-laminated areas add protection and durability, while the toe box is further reinforced to protect feet from rocks and roots. The practical, foot-wrapping bootie construction made from perforated Airprene fabric provides more comfort than a traditional tongue construction since there are fewer material overlays, resulting in a pressure-free fit. Additionally, the perforated Airprene fabric allows moisture vapor to escape for better breathability and shoes that dry faster after wet rides.

The closure system is ergonomic and asymmetric so as not to interfere with the bike’s drivetrain. Proven across the World on the first Ergolace, the latest iteration of the lace closure system keeps feet secure and stable in the wildest riding conditions. The speedlace system is easy to lock and release, even on the fly, for a practical approach to adjustability.

The revised X2 Flat outsole provides the type of shoe-to-pedal interface you need for fast trail riding and gravel adventures, combining the stickiest Vibram XS Ride rubber compound with a specific zonal lug pattern. The mid-foot area has lower lugs with a more regular shape to improve the mechanical grip with the pedals; the pedal pins fit better in the grooves of the outsole locking the shoe in place even on rougher tracks. To improve ground traction during hike-a-bike moments, we took inspiration from other outdoor disciplines to develop a more aggressive tread under the heel and toes—places where the outsole doesn’t interact with the pedal. Here, the lugs are taller and the pattern is wider to dig into the ground better.
