Ride Concepts Tallac Mid

Ride Concepts took everything it loves about the Tallac and beefed it up in a robust mid-top silhouette, resulting in the Tallac Mid shoe

The Tallac Mid has tech, more protection, and more support. Designed for all day rides, hard MTB tours, trail work, and everything in between.

The PerformFit™ Wrap from the BOA® Fit System is designed to improve power transfer and efficiency while providing a micro-adjustable, precision fit you can adjust on the fly. A mid-height collar seamlessly integrates 3D-molded D3O® protection on the medial and lateral sides to provide extra support and keep your ankles safe from side-impacts.

There’s also an integrated D3O® padding for top-of-foot for impact protection. Featuring the same trusted reverse-hex outsole as the low-rise version—grip on and off the bike is second to none. The Cordura® upper with welded construction is abrasion-resistant and built to last, one epic ride after another.

Like its low-top predecessor, this shoe is designed for big days in big terrain. The Tallac Mid is an aggressive shoe with protection and stability at its core. Available in a flat pedal or clipless sole.
