The handmade 100% carbon monocoque construction of the Bont Vaypor T track cycling shoe is made for pure performance. With its unidirectional carbon construction (with exception of final cosmetic layer), 3.6 mm stack height, industry leading strength to weight ratio and Bont’s proprietary resin allowing customisation of fit, the Vaypor T will ensure that your power is transferred straight to the drive train without waste.

Cleat Micro Grid
The cleat micro grid has been included to provide riders with the ability to fine tune their cleat placement.

Buckle & Lace Closure
Closure is achieved via Bont's non-slip lace and buckle combination.

TPU Toe Protector
The toe protector not only protects the front area of the shoe from wheel rub and impact, but also houses ventilation holes for improving airflow through the shoe.

Anti Stretch
Between the outer leather and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer leather and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assits in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke.

Last Design
A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, "We make shoes for cycling, not walking."

Carbon Fiber
Bont carbon fiber is sourced exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The base of the Vaypor T is made by hand utilizing uni-directional carbon fiber which is embedded with epoxy thermo setting resin. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The Vaypor T utilizes unidirectional carbon fiber allowing Bont to create a performance cycling shoe with very specific strength characteristics based on stress points in cycling. As unidirectional carbon absorbs less resin then cross weave fibers, it also assists in the weight reduction of the cycling shoes.

Padding
The Vaypor T utilises closed cell memory foam that will not retain water assisting in maintaining a lighter shoe during wet conditions as well as ensuring sweat which can begin to break down the durability of the shoe is not absorbed.

Medial Longitudinal Arch Support
Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet.

Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries.

In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain.

Anatomical Forefoot Shape
Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common "hot foot" sensation.

Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area.

Anatomical Heel Cup
The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation.

Lateral Forefoot Support
Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.

Bont Vaypor T and Probikekit

These shoes are simply amazing. Light, stiff and Comfy (for me) right out of the box. I have heard some people say they aren't and that is easy fixed through the heat moulding process. Thanks to Probikekit Support also, who went out of their way to make sure I was super happy with this purchase.

Vaypor T

So I decided to pull the trigger on the VayporT's after several recomondations from my teamates. I primarily train for the sprinting events but also do the odd scratch or points race. I was skeptical at first but when I put the hammer down in a flying 200m I was blown away at how planted my feet were, I could feel an increase of energy being transferred directly to the pedals and the clock proved me right as I had a PB and very close to a national record. I followed all the instructions and watched several videos getting the heat mold just right and well worth the time. They felt different when I put them on for the first time like no other cycling shoe but in a good way. They are beautiful to look at and I find my other shoes are boring and feel just ordinary now, these are top level shoes like Sidi northwave and DMT. Thank you Bont for making a believer and thank you for helping me reach new highs and goals. Now if we could only get back to racing again.
