Review Bont Riot G — Gravel and MTB Shoes

The Ultimate Shoes for Muddy Days and Rainy Weather

When the weather worsens and gravel tracks or MTB trails turn into a quagmire, the Bont Riot G position themselves as the perfect barrier between your feet and the route’s worst conditions. 

Designed to withstand rain, moisture, and the rigors of the terrain, they combine professional-level stiffness with the traction needed when you have to get off and walk.

Protection, Grip, and Thermal Fit

• Its highly durable microfiber upper and side reinforcements withstand constant mud splashes, wet vegetation, and wind chill on winter rides.

• Traction on Wet Ground: The solegravel grip provides the grip needed to walk safely over wet rocks, thick mud, or slippery ramps when the bike can no longer climb.

• Thermoformable in your own oven: The carbon composite chassis adapts to the exact shape of your foot using household heat, ideal for preventing pressure points if you wear thicker thermal socks on cold days.

• The dual BOA® L6 dial system allows quick, precise adjustment on the go, even when wearing long or wet gloves.

Pros and Things to Consider

• Advantages: Outstanding power transfer, maximum durability against the elements, and an anatomical fit that prevents numbness on long rides.

• Things to Consider: The toe box is roomier than that of conventional brands, so measuring your foot in millimeters is recommended to get the size right the first time.

Key Specifications:

The Bont Riot G are the answer for those who refuse to stay home when the weather worsens. Protection, grip, and maximum efficiency with every pedal stroke to master the toughest gravel and mountain routes in any weather.
