dhb T1.0C Carbon Triathlon Cycling Shoe

The T1.0C is the carbon version of the T1.0 (The T1.0 uses glass reinforced Nylon). The Carbon Fibre composite sole provides a phenomenal stiffness to weight ratio power transfer unit, which makes sure that you get the most out of each stroke. Integrated drainage holes in the sole help your feet dry out after the swim phase of the Triathlon.

This shoe shares all the same features, which help for a smooth transition and fast ride time.

The synthetic upper is made from two layers – the outer skin protects against knocks and scrapes and the inner quad core mesh maps to the foot shape and resists stretch. The low stretch means minimal power loss.

A single closure entry strap is orientated for triathlon use. This means it fastens inwards (not outwards) so at transition your strap won’t get tangled in your drivetrain. The strap has keeper nodules, to keep the strap in place in the eyelet, so the shoe can be left wide open and ready to ride at transition. The big, easy grip heel loop allows you to tug the shoe on quickly for a fast getaway.

Big breather windows on the top of the shoe will help your feet to dry out and stay comfortable.

At the ankle end of the shoe there is a discrete thermo plastic heel counter, which is sandwiched between the cushioning layers of the shoe. This added support and stiffness provides lateral stability and gives better control when making hard efforts.

The aesthetics of the shoe are light and minimal with high visibility reflective detailing all around for road safety on low light training rides.

The shoe is pre-drilled ready to use with road-style, 3-hole cleat-pedal systems (Look/SPD-SL/Time)

If you are looking for a cost effective alternative, check out the dhb T1.0 (Opens new page) triathlon cycling shoe, with a glass filled nylon sole instead of carbon fibre. The upper is exactly the same - the only difference is the sole. dhb glass filled nylon (T1.0) is 25% less stiff compared to the dhb carbon sole (T1.0C).
