The Teva Links freeride shoe is a great looking, and comfortable trainer that is designed with mountainbiking in mind. Designed in collaboration with legendary Free-Rider Jeff Lenosky, the Teva Links shoe was constructed in order to deal with all of the issues that Jeff Lenosky dealt with on a demanding days riding.
The use of sticky rubber soles, a flat base that grips flat pedals well, and a special Ion-Mask treatment that sheds water and mud effectively and dries quicker, make the Links a MTB clasic. Jeff Lenosky's take on them was;
“We didn’t compromise on any aspect of the design, using the very best materials, style and technology available. I’ve been wearing them and riding in them for a few months and I’m really proud of the finished product.”
This is Teva's first venture into the mountainbiking market and is generally being reported to be a real sucess, with many reviewers applauding them for producing a well thought out well reseaerched product instead of a half baked attempt to break the market.
TEVA LINKS SHOE FEATURES
-
T.I.D.E Grip - The Spider365 rubber sole will grip to your pedals in all kind of environments due to the unique sole that interfaces with the design of mountain bike pedals. This is combined with a special grip on the toe to help when pushing back up hills and a reverse lug pattern to give grip when you are going downhill not on your bike.
-
T.I.D.E Hydro - Ion-Mask technology prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing water on a molecular level. Also waterproof materials throughout make it easy to wash off mud.
-
T.I.D.E Comfort - A rubberised grid on the toe of the shoe is breathable armour that prevents ripping. A shock pad in the heel of the shoe helps absorb hard landings as does the extra padding throughout the rest of the upper. Strong plastic wraps around the back help protect your heal and provide a snug fit along with the elastic tongue and Mush infused insole used in Teva's very comfy flip-flops.
