DMT Gk1 Gravel

Simply an absolute novelty in the world of gravel. Until now, fans of this new and popular trend have been forced to choose between the various proposals of a mountain bike shoe or a "comfort" road shoe. Today DMT is the first ever brand in the bike world with a Michelin sole suitable for the multiple needs of gravel enthusiasts. The secret? Being able to combine the need for a sole capable of transmitting all the cyclist's power to the pedals with that of being able to walk once off the bike.

A spirit, that of gravel, fully incorporated into the new GK1. The upper is made of mesh to guarantee lightness, adaptability to the shape of the foot and very high breathability. The integrated laces are reflective and reinforced for protection from mud and abrasion at the points of greatest stress. But the real novelty of the GK1 lies in the Michelin sole: the construction of this, in fact, provides for a rigid insert which, unlike XC and road shoes, does not cover the entire foot area but only a specific area which was conceived and created thanks to the experience of JVI technicians and the close collaboration with our testers and DMT athletes. This solution, combined with technology traction power system and the specific study of the tread design allows for excellent traction and grip, both when foot control on the ground and in sections where walking is necessary and, at the same time, guarantees excellent durability.
