Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Shoes – Cycle. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Leatt DBX 5.0 Clipless Shoes 2020.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Leatt DBX 5.0 Clipless Shoes 2020 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Shoes – Cycle. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Shoes – Cycle. Brands like Leatt are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Shoes – Cycle category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for.

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

  • Description: Leatt DBX 5.0 Clipless ShoesThe DBX 5.0 Clipless Shoes from Leatt let you clip in with ease and go tear up your favourite mountain trails with ruthless efficiency. They’re rugged too, taking on the hard-knocks of riding and always coming back for more. From a challenging Enduro race, ripping a downhill course or the thrills of a fast flow trail, the DBX 5.0 Clipless Shoes keep you solidly and securely planted on the pedals.  The ClipGrip Sole features an extended adjustment range for your cleats so you can get your pedalling position perfected. The rigid mid-sole also delivers trail-slaying efficiency. The sole unit takes the RideGrip Compound from their flat pedal shoes to ensure that even if you’re not clipped in, you’ll enjoy a superbly secure and grippy hold of the pedals too. And with a flexible toe area and mud-flow channels to clear the sole, you’ll enjoy sure-footed grip when you’re off the bike and pushing. The DBX 5.0s are at the cutting edge of shoe construction too. A 3D knit upper hugs the foot for superb comfort. And it’s water-resistant and breathable too, keeping your foot protected from muddy splashes as well as sweat-free. PU reinforcement, including super-tough toe and heel protection, shrugs off the inevitable knocks, scrapes and bumps that mountain biking brings – these shoes are built tough. With their concealed lacing system and cross-tension straps, you’ll always enjoy a secure fit as you pedal hard out of fast berms and flash along sweet singletrack. Cleat GuidanceThese MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.Features:ClipGrip Sole: Unique extended SPD channel adjustable for Gravity RidingOptimized grip pattern in pedal areaGrippy heel and toe siping with mud-flow channelsRideGrip Compound: Secret sole formula – sticky grip even on wet and slippery surfacesMid Sole: Mono-directional flex – Rigid on pedals, flexible in toe areaUpper: Concealed speed lace system, Cross-tension straps for pedal efficiency and weather protection3D-Knit upper with water resistance and breathable shellStrategically placed PU reinforcements – Stealth heel and toe capsTongue: Low-profile, padded and weather-resistantBuy Leatt from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
