Bont Riot G
$320.00 CAD
The Bont Riot G is a gravel-specific powerhouse that brings Bont's world-renowned carbon-composite construction and anatomical fit to the dirt. Designed for the rigors of gravel racing and bikepacking, it offers the perfect blend of high-wattage power transfer and the rugged durability needed when the road ends.
Why the Bont Riot G is the Ultimate Gravel Tool:
-
Carbon Composite Power: Built with a specialized carbon composite chassis, the Riot G ensures that none of your energy is wasted. The "bathtub" style sole wraps around the sides of your foot, providing exceptional lateral stability and a direct connection to the pedals.
-
Anatomical Toe Box: Unlike standard cycling shoes that taper to a point, Bont shoes are built on an anatomical last. This allows your toes to splay naturally, reducing "hot spots" and increasing comfort during long, grueling days in the saddle.
-
Fully Heat-Moldable: The entire chassis is heat-moldable, allowing you to customize the fit of the heel and arch in your own oven. This creates a "second-skin" feel that eliminates heel slip and provides a truly personalized fit.
-
Gravel-Specific Traction: The Riot G features a rugged anti-stretch upper and replaceable sole guards. The lugged outsole provides the grip you need for "hike-a-bike" sections while remaining stiff enough for high-performance pedaling.
-
BOA® L6 Fit System: A single-dial BOA® L6 system combined with a Z-form velcro strap allows for quick, micro-adjustments. This ensures a secure, even fit that stays comfortable even as your feet swell during long rides.

The Alegro Verdict: If you are a gravel rider who prioritizes pedaling efficiency above all else, the Riot G is hard to beat. Most gravel shoes sacrifice stiffness for walkability; Bont refuses to compromise, giving you a shoe that feels like a pure road racing shoe but with the armor and grip needed for the trail.
