Conclusion The exotic in the test: High-cut and equipped with a water-repellent membrane, the MX145 is perfect for adventures. Super protection, top grip thanks to two Boa fasteners and good power transmission. The sole is grippy, but the profile is not ideal for running.


BIKE judgement² VERY GOOD

Two Boa fasteners on the Lake shoe optimally distribute the pressure on the foot via four straps. A Boa fastener alone usually only achieves this to a limited extent.Photo: Georg Grieshaber Two Boa fasteners on the Lake shoe optimally distribute the pressure on the foot via four straps.
