Collection: Gravel Cycling Shoes

When the terrain gets rough and the route takes you off the asphalt, special demands are placed on your equipment – and your cycling shoes are no exception. Gravel cycling combines the best of road and mountain biking, and that's why you need shoes that can handle a little bit of everything. At Transition Zone, we've selected two strong gravel models from Australian Bont Cycling: Riot G and Riot MTB+. Both are designed for riders who demand both precision and comfort, whether they're chasing segments or exploring new gravel trails.

The Bont Riot G is designed with the gravel rider in mind. It combines Bont's signature heat-moldable construction with a durable outsole and grip that works on both dry gravel roads and muddy trails. The Riot G is built on Bont's anatomical last, which means the shoe follows the natural shape of the foot more closely than traditional cycling shoes. This provides better comfort, less risk of pressure points and optimal power transfer, even on longer rides.

The fiberglass-reinforced nylon outsole is designed with rugged rubber lugs and a tread pattern that provides good traction when you need to get off the bike and carry or push. The BOA dial makes it easy to adjust the fit with one hand – perfect when you’re in the middle of a race or on technical terrain. The Riot G is a solid choice for riders who want a gravel shoe with high functionality, long-lasting durability and a natural, comfortable fit.

Although technically designed for mountain biking, the Riot MTB+'s ruggedness and fit make it an excellent choice for gravel riders who push their gear to the limit. The Riot MTB+ shares many of the same features as the Riot G, but stands out with added protection, reinforced materials and a more aggressive sole pattern - ideal for riders who often encounter steep slopes, loose rocks and demanding trails.

The shoe features a dual BOA buckle for even better adjustment, which is especially beneficial on long rides or in changing conditions. The Riot MTB+ is also heat moldable and follows Bont's signature ergonomic design, ensuring both comfort and efficiency, no matter how demanding your route gets. Whether your gravel riding borders on bikepacking, technical trails or long-distance adventures, the Riot MTB+ is the shoe to go all the way.

At Transition Zone, we stock both the Riot G and Riot MTB+ because we know that gravel riders are different and have different needs. Common to both models is Bont’s dedication to precision, comfort and durability – qualities that are absolutely essential when choosing shoes for a discipline where flexibility and adaptability are key.

We offer personal advice in store, and our team can help you find the perfect size and model. If you've never tried heat moldable cycling shoes before, we're also ready to guide you through the process. With Bont, you don't just get a shoe - you get a molded experience that feels like a natural extension of your foot.

Whichever model you choose, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the gravel with confidence and full control. Come in and try them out at Transition Zone – or order online and have them delivered straight to your door.
