The MX239 mountain biking shoe is the latest version of one of our all-time favourite mountain biking shoes, for riders hitting the remote and technical trails. This evolution of our legendary MX238 is updated to include an integrated tongue to the medial panel of the upper for a firmer foot hold, ensuring that power is maximised into forward momentum through improved stability – a vital ingredient on loose and technical terrain.  

The MX239 MTB shoe comes with a new fibreglass reinforced internal heel counter, creating a more stable heel hold, and has more spacing between the two BOA® dials to give greater zone adjustment to the forefoot area. It takes one of our favourite off-road adventure cycling shoes to a whole new level of comfort, fit and performance, with modern styling as standard. Add to this the Mountain Competition real rubber sole, and you have a mountain biking shoe that’s ready to take on any challenge.

MX Competition Last - Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort Plus Last and with slightly more overall volume than the Sport Last. Exceptionally secure for hard riding/racing with enough room in the toe box to prevent binding when running up inclines or negotiating those tricky technical sections, while the wider toe box gives your feet a more natural fit and platform. Our Lake MX Competition Last ensures that the MX239 mountain bike shoe is designed to maximise your performance when riding off-road adventures or racing on the rough stuff – for as long as your adventures last.

Outsole - The MX239 comes fitted with our Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fibre Sole, alongside our Mountain Competition real rubber sole, and with extended protection for excellent ground stability. This added outsole protection helps to ensure stability on all types of surfaces, while giving necessary performance on the pedals. The rubber extends over the front edge of the shoe, providing you with important protection against wear and tear on loose terrain.

Upper - This latest high-performance off-road shoe is available in Clarino Microfibre or Helcor leather upper with mesh and Outlast heel lining. The Helcor Abrasion resistant leather is specifically designed to be extremely durable against rubbing, scrapes, and scuffing. The Clarino Microfibre is super tough and resilient to the arduous wear and tear of long rides on all types of terrain, maintaining its shape and stability, while being lighter than full-grain leather and more durable at thinner gauges. This allows us to give you a cycling shoe that remains stable in all riding conditions, and which will stand the test of time. With your foot wrapped in our legendary Lake comfort, the Outlast temperature regulating heel and tongue lining offers a luxurious foot feel, while maintaining a breathable, durable & firm grip to your foot.

Closure - BOA® Fit System Li2 Dials. The Li2 dial is the most advanced platform in cycling, offering a precise, micro-adjustable fit in both directions and designed to resist abrasion. There is not one element that can take credit for shoe fit on its own. Closure and comfort come down to several details, which is why here at Lake, we take time to design shoes with what we believe to be the best comfort and closure systems. The dual BOA® fit system is not unique to cycling, but it is how we use this dial system in conjunction with our pattern work, our world-class shoe Last and our selection of superior upper materials that make this system work.

The MX242 is a culmination of all of our experience, advanced materials, and shoe making techniques to make a shoe that offers the best fitting solution for hard to fit foot types. Made with a heat moldable heel counter and an uniquely designed upper that has enough adjustability to accommodate riders with bunions, deformation, narrow or wide feet, or a high or low instep. The separated panels allow for fine tuning the fit, relieving pressure from sensitive and painful spots on the feet.

MX Competition Last: Featuring a larger toe box & tighter heel than the Comfort last and with slightly more overall volume than the Sport last. Exceptionally secure for hard riding/racing with enough room in the toe box to prevent binding when running up inclines or negotiating a hike-a-bike section. Designed for performance riding & racing.

Outsole: Lake Competition 100% Carbon Fibre Sole with Mountain Competition real rubber sole with extended protection and ground stability.
