Ride Concepts has only been around since 2018 but has been a strong contender in the best mountain bike shoe market, producing some of the best MTB footwear. The US brand has added a new series of shoes to its arsenal, the Accomplice is an athletic-inspired trail shoe that comes in both a clipless and flat pedal shoe and with either lace or Boa closure.
Ride Concepts has designed the Accomplice with a four-way stretch slip tongue, rather than a traditional version, which they say offers more comfort and helps keep dirt and debris out as well. The nylon tech upper gives the shoe a slimmer form and has suede eye row detail in which either laces or Boa cables are threaded through. The Boa version uses a L6 Fit System for easy tightening and fast release and the dial winds in a textile TX4 lace.
