With features keeping both comfort and performance high on the agenda, the Tallacs will be of interest to anyone who likes tough all-day rides.

The brand is growing like wildfire with mountain bikers because of shoes like the Hellion Clips. They work for just about everything, the looks are easy to get along with, and the shoes will last a long time.

The Ride Concepts Powerline shoe comes built with an impressive array of features in order to ensure they hit the holy trinity of mountain bike shoes, comfort, grip and protection. 

The Ride Concepts Tallac BOA brings some higher-end features to a flat-pedal design, a combination that’s unfortunately still pretty rare, but in this case, it’s executed in a cohesive and useful manner.
