Worldcup T2 Triathlon Cycling Shoe: Ride and Run Faster
It’s the shoe that works with you, not against you. A shoe that you quickly slip into during transitions, offering incredible support and optimal power transfer as a result. Thanks to extensive research, it’s a shoe that, especially on the bike, reduces your effort so much that you’ll run better afterwards. The T2 takes triathlon to a whole new level.
Super Fast Transitions
This shoe is developed for, and with, top triathletes. A well-known issue is the hassle during transitions. Especially in sprint distances, every second you save on putting your shoes on and taking them off is crucial. Thanks to the high back, which functions like a shoehorn, you can slide your foot in easily. The raised heel is also reinforced, ensuring it never folds.
The shoe has several options to attach elastics to secure it to your bike. This allows you to choose the optimal position for a flying start. The Velcro closure can be easily set to an open position, further aiding in sliding your foot in effortlessly.
Efficient Pedal Stroke Without Tightening Too Much
Once in the shoe, you can immediately transfer your power to the pedals, even if you haven’t been able to fully close the Velcro straps under time pressure. Often, shoes are not tightened properly, causing significant power loss. The carbon shell sole of the Cadomotus T2 is highly heat-moldable and thus fits your foot perfectly, ensuring an efficient pedal stroke. The shoe fits so snugly from the start that every pedal stroke counts, which is especially beneficial uphill or when accelerating out of a turn.
Quick-Drying Feet and Improved Aerodynamics
The shell shape makes the shoe extra stiff and has a much thinner sole than other cycling shoes. The raised carbon edges provide additional stiffness, and thanks to the thinner sole, you can lower your saddle by a few millimeters, giving you an aerodynamic advantage. The open upper of the shoe ensures optimal ventilation, and the lining is made of breathable 'open' mesh, with additional holes in the carbon shell sole. The entire design is meant to dry your wet feet as quickly as possible.
Stiff Shoe Shell Helps Save Energy for Running
Ultimately, the most significant advantage of the shoe is the solid shell sole. By cycling more efficiently, you save energy for the run. This is further enhanced by the stiff shoe, which stabilizes and relieves your calves. As a result, you cycle more from your hips and thighs, preserving your calves for the run. This helps delay fatigue, which can lead to significant gains during the run. In short, it's a shoe that improves both your cycling and running performance.
Key Benefits Recap:
Quick and hassle-free to put on thanks to the reinforced high heel.
Improved power transfer, especially if the shoe isn’t fully tightened.
Better legs for running thanks to a stiffer sole and stable calves with every pedal stroke.
