Test: As the interface to the bike, the shoes are of particular importance. At the top of the wish list is not only perfect power transmission and an ideal hold, but also a high level of wearing comfort. The B'TWIN MTB RR 5 cycling shoe turned out to be a true all-rounder in the test!
The B'Twin MTB RR 5 cycling shoe is already visually different from conventional cycling shoes. Visually, the shoe looks more like a cool sneaker than a special shoe for cycling. However, one should not be fooled by the casual appearance of the B'TWIN product! There is also a slot for SPD cleats, as well as Velcro straps for additional stabilization of the heel.
Usable with and without cleats
The semi-rigid sole provides a good riding experience and therefore good control over the bike. The profile of the shoe also offers exceptionally good grip when carrying and pushing, even when it is wet. In fact, the sole with the distinctive outer studs is reminiscent of a trekking shoe. The B'Twin MTB RR 5 cycling shoe also makes a good and safe impression when riding without cleats on flat pedals. Even without cleats, the shoe offers good grip on the pedal.
The cushioning of the sole is good and gives no cause for criticism. According to the appearance, the shoe offers a very pleasant wearing comfort. The fit is good, nothing rubs or pinches. The good workmanship of the inexpensive shoe is just as pleasant. The cycling shoe is water-repellent, but not waterproof. This means that when riding in the rain, the shoe can withstand the wet for a long time, but at some point the moisture will creep to your feet. The B'TWIN MTB RR 5 cycling shoe is available in sizes 39 to 47.
Conclusion
The B'TWIN MTB RR 5 cycling shoe is just as impressive on the trail as it is on the way to the office. Recommended and inexpensive all-rounder for everyday cycling.
