Crankbrothers Mallet BOA Black/Gold – precise fit and reliable contact for hard riding

The Crankbrothers Mallet BOA is made for riders who need stability, protection, and predictable performance from their shoes on technical trails, at the bike park, and during race-oriented riding. According to the manufacturer, the model performs well on race tracks and at the bike park, and the shoe's Match System optimizes engagement with MTB clipless pedals, including Crankbrothers and SPD. This makes it a good option for riders who want to combine efficient pedal contact with control in demanding terrain.

The BOA L6 adjustment allows for precise tightening, and the Mallet BOA comes with a Match shim and a Crankbrothers cleat pre-installed in a neutral position, according to the manufacturer. This makes it easier to get started, especially when you want the shoe to offer direct compatibility and a functional out-of-the-box setup. The black/gold color scheme gives the model a striking look while maintaining a technical appearance suitable for off-road use.

Ready to ride:
Crankbrothers Mallet clipless shoes are perfectly suited for race tracks and bike park riding. The innovative Match System optimizes engagement with any MTB clipless pedal system, whether Crankbrothers or SPD. The shoes come with a Match Shim and Crankbrothers cleat pre-installed in a neutral position – ready to ride straight out of the box.

Match Box

The raised cleat box facilitates engagement with the pedal from the front and rear and improves mud shedding. The Race Zone cleat rail area allows the cleat to be positioned further back toward the heel, which increases control and stability when riding downhill.

Match Compound

Our medium-friction rubber compound (MC1) allows for easy engagement with and release from the pedal and is durable enough to withstand wear. The radial lug pattern around the cleat box is designed to ensure smooth release from the pedal body.

Match Outsole

The sole pattern is designed to provide grip when moving outside the bike. Directional and widely spaced forefoot and heel lugs provide grip when climbing and descending steep terrain. The raised forefoot construction improves walkability in steep terrain.
