Ergolace 2 GTX is a versatile off-road, adventure shoe that combines advanced, waterproof materials and a go-anywhere attitude.
A trusted partner for any gravel or trail mission, be it a bikepacking trip or backcountry e-bike exploration. Ergolace 2 GTX is a lightweight, durable, fast-drying and waterproof shoe for riders that dream of going far beyond tarmac. It builds upon the attitude of its predecessor with a wider shape, reduced bulk, and a revised outsole that is even grippier on loose or uneven terrain.
The updated shape is 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. Built for wet-weather performance, the shoe features a lightweight GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, offering waterproof, breathable protection that keeps feet dry without increasing weight or bulk. The upper uses a lighter, low-profile ripstop fabric that dries quickly. Wider PU-laminated areas add greater protection and durability, while the toe box is further reinforced to protect feet from rocks and roots.
A practical, foot-wrapping bootie construction made from perforated Airprene fabric provides more comfort than a traditional tongue construction, resulting in a pressure-free fit. The perforated Airprene fabric allows moisture vapour to escape for better breathability. The closure system is ergonomic and asymmetric so as not to interfere with the bike’s drivetrain. The speedlace system is easy to lock and release for a practical approach to adjustability.
The new X2 outsole provides the shoe-to-pedal interface needed for fast trail riding and gravel adventures, combining a sticky Vibram Megagrip rubber compound with a specific zonal lug pattern. The mid-foot area has lower lugs with a more regular shape to improve mechanical grip with the pedals. To improve ground traction during hike-a-bike moments, an aggressive tread under the heel and toes features taller lugs and a wider pattern to dig into the ground better. This clip-in version has an Ergolace-specific nylon shank with an optimised shape for enhanced walkability. It is stiffer than its flat counterpart for better power transfer through the entire pedal stroke, improving pedalling efficiency.
