Bontrager Ballista Knit Road Cycling Shoe

Overview

"Ventilation is absolutely superb, too"

"After wearing the Ballista Knits I am totally converted as the fit and comfort is like a second skin"

"Some of the best cycling shoes available"

"Tensioning the BOA up from the back creates a different kind of fit and it’s among the best I’ve tried"

Features

Breathable, lightweight knit material with a DWR coating wraps around all the contours of your foot for a fully customized fit.

Proprietay OCLV Carbon construction makes up 100% of sole and is extremely lightweight and stiff for an efficient transfer of power.

Heel-mounted Boa IP1 dial offers precise, two-way fit adjustments so don’t have to worry about connection points on the top of your foot for better overall comfort.

The heel-mounted Boa IP1 dial and unique fit system draws your foot down and back for a more secure fit.

A smooth, durable shoe cover is included for inclement weather training rides or that extra aero advantage and is designed specifically for Ballista Knit.

If for any reason you're not satisfied with a Bontrager or Trek aftermarket purchase, return the item, along with the original sales receipt to the original place of purchase within 30 days for an exchange or refund. Think of it as a 30-day test ride.
