Canyon Scampr provides one other pair of footwear to their ever-growing product providing, this time a easy set of extra walkable kicks constructed to transition from gravel to XC, path, and eMTB. Their highlights seem like a comfortable however safe match dialed in with a single Boa Li2, a large grippy Vibram sole, fairly gentle weight for a nylon-soled shoe, and easy attractiveness. Canyon calls them, “the proper platform to your wildest journey rides and off-grid excursions”…
Canyon Scampr all-rounder gravel & mountain bike footwear
The brand new Canyon Scampr MTB-style footwear characteristic a singular comfortable higher development with a structured wrap and a single Boa Li2 dial, a large grippy Vibram sole, and a stage of versatile all-around efficiency Canyon describes as ‘adventure-ready’. The brand new footwear inherit key match tech from their newest top-tier Tempr CFR footwear, however the brand new Scamprs prioritize consolation on-bike and walkability off-the-bike, all at half the price of these carbon XC racing footwear.
It’s actually the wrap-around PerformFit Wrap floating strap design that comes from the Temprs. The thought appears to be a softer, extra comfy match because of a well-ventilated bootie-like stretch mesh higher that you simply simply slip your foot into. Then, the stiffer and extra supportive PerformFit microfiber straps wrap over and cinch your instep down and “locks-in” your heel.
Uneven, single Boa retention
The uneven and overlapping design of the three straps is secured with a single Boa Li2 dial on the skin of the shoe, pulling a single zig-zag of woven fiber lacing by way of webbing lace guides. The center strap seems to drag extra across the midfoot of the sock-like higher from the instep, whereas the highest & backside straps pull all the way in which across the foot from attachment factors on the heel & toe of the only.
Not having tried this shoe specifically, my expertise with related Boa options means that instep & heel lock safety must be stable. Nonetheless advantageous adjustment of forefoot rigidity will seemingly be tougher to attain. However I’d be curious to see how the overlapping strap format impacts the advantageous match management you’ll naturally sacrifice with a single dial pulling throughout 3 units of lace loops.
Canyon says the brand new Scampr is “the last word go-anywhere do-anything shoe for each adventurer“, developed to “navigate tough, uneven and technical terrain with a secure but walkable sole irrespective of the place or how far off the map you’re using and strolling“.
