La Sportiva Cyklon

Cyklon: float like a butterfly, run like the wind

Cyclon is the performance shoe for skyraces and off-road racing on technical terrain at medium distance.
The result of research and development between La Sportiva and BOA™, it is a product that guarantees stability, precision and a perfect fit thanks to the new Dynamic Cage™ powered by the BOA™ Fit System that works in synergy with 3 different elements of the upper for perfect binding and stability of the foot for a safe and precise downhill run.

The heart of the lacing system is the internal Dynamic Flap ™ that wraps the foot and is activated instantly and precisely via the BOA® Fit System with one effortless hand movement.

The protective TPU toecap and the multi-layer, thermo-adhesive side panel provide additional structure and impact protection. The mud-ground tread, ideal for use on soft and muddy ground, is in ultra-grippy La Sportiva FriXion™ White compound and provides the possibility of integrating AT Grip Spike nails in case of use on icy ground. The double-density EVA midsole with stabilizer insert contributes to the overall stability of the shoe and contains weight.

Technologies

Mid Long Distance
Versatile shoes created for a number of off-road runs such as skyraces, mountain running and city park running. High level of stability, shock absorption and comfort.

Mud Grounds
These soles are particularly suited to racing on soft and muddy ground thanks to the width of the shoe and the distance of the lugs that make up the sole.

FriXion White
The La Sportiva FriXion® compound is the result of extensive R&D aimed at creating outsoles with parameters of grip and durability that respond to all types of use and terrain.
Super sticky, leave no trace, long lasting compound. Ideal for high performance mountain running shoes and indoor climbing shoes.

EVA - Injected
Highe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist “push off” during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the “squash” effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.

Ortholite MR E (4 mm)
The Mountain Running collection models adopt the exclusive La Sportiva insoles by Ortholite, with 2 different thickness. Both models are available in men and women version and differs for the materials’ densities.

• Breathable for a cooler foot.
• The unique open cell structure creates a moisture management system.
• Long term cushioning: insole will retain over 95% of its thickness over time and won’t flatten out.
• Anti-microbial agents and washable properties for a more igienic shoe.
