FiveTen Freerider VXI, Charcoal

Go-Ride's Take:
FiveTen's new Stealth Contact outsole has been wildly popular since it was introduced last year, and even we were surprised how well the new design worked to keep the rider in contact with the pedals. The performance gains on the pedal give up some traction when hiking on loose dirt or mud, but we've seen so far that riders are willing to give up a bit of walking traction for the control advantages at the most important point of contact on the bike.

What FiveTen Says:
Introducing Five Tens new Stealth Contact outsole that allows you to pull, push and adjust, the new Freerider Vxi is designed for casual all-mountain flat pedal riders to the aggressive downhill racer. Riders will instantly understand the advantage of the new Contact outsole thats treadless under the foots ball for float. The new Freerider Vxi has a breathable, abrasion-resistant upper, a new performance-fit, and an asymmetrical welt that provides extra crank-side durability.
