Words by Belinda Althaus.
Slippers, super-light, rigid, and down-right cool looking. This is my take on the Specialized Cascades.
I’ve used them in a few endurance races now and they’re incredibly light weight
for a mountain bike shoe and with a carbon sole are incredibly stiff -
increased power transfer, done! These bad boys are only 40gms heavier per
shoe compared to the S Works XC shoe and have a carbon sole stiffness index of
11.0 compared to 13.0 of the S Works model. The other bonus is they are
primarily black, which when it comes to mountain biking always goes down well
when weather can unpredictable. The shoes come with the main boa dial plus two
Velcro straps. Extra grip lugs are also provided and as with all
Specialized products replacements for most working components are available in
the case of misfortune.
Whether you’re a weekend trailblazer, recreational
racer, out to set PB’s or podium these Cascades will win you over in comfort,
stiffness and looks and most of all make you feel faster.
