Like the X-Alp-Launch. These lightweight kicks are packed with subtle MTB features, such as heel and toe protection. The thin upper material offers little protection. The BOA fastener works well as usual. The tongue could be a little wider, so you have to position it in the centre before tightening the shoe. The wearing comfort is good. The Goodyear Pinloc sole only has moderate grip. The ventilation is okay.

Conclusion: MTB shoe light for trail rides. Good wearing comfort. There are grippier soles. Nothing for heavy DH use.
