Quality demand without compromise
Suplest stands for high-end cycling shoes of the highest quality, which convince through design, innovation and comfort. Bikers know just how high-quality biker shoes must feel. And the makers want to live up to this claim. The shoes must be the perfect link between rider and bike. This approach allows no compromises. Those who have to meet the highest demands rely on maximum quality in terms of materials and technology. In addition, with each new collection, the experience gained flows with and leads to a constant improvement of the collection.

Palette 2021 - new colors
The range is divided into "Road", "Crosscountry" and "Offroad". Under the category "Road" you will find road bike shoes with carbon sole, perfect lacing and lowest weight, under the category "Crosscountry" mountain bike shoes with optimal power transmission and under the category "Offroad" bike shoes that have a more slip-resistant sole and that have no problems with running passages.

For 2021, new colors are the order of the day: the Crosscountry Pro is now available in white, the Crosscountry Performance is now available in Fango and the Road Pro is also available in Fango.

Those who pay attention to quality should inquire more closely and try a shoe at the nearest retailer. www.suplest.ch
