Adidas Five Ten’s Kestrel BOA is a “downcountry” shoe that pairs XC performance with FiveTen’s gravity and mountain bike expertise.
For decades, Adidas Five Ten, the manufacturer of performance bike footwear, has provided technical advancements for riders of all abilities and multiple disciplines. The brand developed the Kestrel BOA, a lightweight, clip-in shoe with gravity-inspired performance for all-day comfort to address the growing, aggressive approach to the hardtail and full suspension cross-country market.
The Kestrel BOA features a full-length plate made, in part, with repurposed materials and glass fiber. The glass fiber plate gives the shoe power transfer and added stability on the pedals. Technical features include an impact-resistant toe box, a breathable and abrasion-resistant upper made in part with recycled materials, and a strategically placed textured Stealth rubber instep patch for grip. The Kestrel BOA’s soles feature grippy Stealth rubber and raised toe and heel tread (“pillars”) for on-foot traction. The Kestrel’s BOA Li2 closure system allows riders to dial in a custom fit for on-the-fly micro-adjustability, stepping up performance and comfort.
