RBC has taken the time to listen to what track athletes want and need from their shoes.

The M10 Track shoe is custom made to your specifications and design

Testing under the strongest sprinters in the world, five things immediately become obviously important when designing and refining this shoe.

1. Comfortable sole
2. Aero Dynamics
3. Stiffness of the Sole
4. Repeatability of fit and feel
5. Comfortable upper

To add to these critical factors our designers understood where power was being lost and how we could deliver the lost power back to the pedal with precision efficiency.

Here’s what makes the M10 Track shoe the most powerful shoe available

Monocoque carbon sole

RBC’s sole construction is assembled layer by layer like no other, utilizing a Nano modified epoxy preimpregnated into high modulus Carbon Fibre for ultimate rigidity and repeatability. The carbon layers on the sole are vacuum formed under heat around the cast made of your foot, Using only a small amount of padding in the arch this carbon cradle for your foot gives you unparalleled comfort. When delivering power, not having to compress padding in the forefoot gives you an instant advantage over any shoes using a post production innersole.

Orthopaedic contour control

A full Carbon arch and heel pocket allows the shoe to stabilize and cradle your feet. This gives you a major increase in comfort and power by preventing you from pronating or supernating your feet as you load up the pedal every revolution.

Upper Construction

Every RBC upper is constructed using only the most advanced materials.

• Microfiber leather for its durability and predictability of stretch and wear.
• Surgical padding with a 99% lifetime memory around the ankle line for comfort
• Woven Kevlar sandwiched as the middle layer

Side Force Lacing

The lacing for this shoe has been relocated to the side of the foot. This move was due to simple mechanical forces that would make the athlete loose power by having laces up the centre of the foot.

Combining the Side Force Lacing and the non stretch Kevlar sandwiched between the layers, means that when you pull up on the pedal it is instant power delivery. No having to preload and stretch the upper by curling your toes or tensing your foot. Simply said using RBC Shoes your feet will not move up or down due to the shoe stretching. This gives you a double gain not only gaining power by removing the stretch in the upper but also keeping your foot in constant contact with the sole of the shoe no matter how hard you pull up on the pedal.

A simple equation for you to try when your foot leaves
the sole of the shoe even by 1 mm:

Example: At 100rpm your foot may leave the shoe sole by 0.5mm 2 times per revolution near the top and base of the stroke. Multiply this by 2 to include your other foot. Then include the time you ride for, in this exercise we will say 5 minutes

100rpm x (0.5mm x 2x2 feet) x 5 minutes=1000mm of extra distance travelled in your shoe in only 5 minutes

Aero Dynamics

The M10 Shoe is designed for least wind resistance.

• Low profile rounded frontal area is dependent on the thickness of your toes.
• The one piece upper with lace cover has all joins and stitching blended into the shoe so to give clean air flow over and around the foot
• The walk pads are also profiled and blended into the shoe so to not interrupt airflow.
• Thin firm gripping ankle line allows minimal disruption of airflow

Strength & Weight

The M10 is unbelievably light for its impressive strength with the average size 8 shoe weighing a mere 220grams. Gram for gram all RBC shoes are by far the strongest available anywhere.

Repeatability

If you decide that you want to have an even better advantage over your opponents you can choose to have RBC clone and store your casts and digitally store your patterns and specifications. By doing this RBC has the ability to make clones of the original shoes right down to the angles.

By choosing to clone and store you can also refine the fit by the millimetre, you may want to lower or raise the toe box, alter length, width, more cleat angle, less cleat angle, tighten the heel fit and so on in your next pair. Whatever you choose to change the rest will remain the same making changing from pair to pair smooth and easy.

While the M10 design may look plain it is this simplicity that makes the M10 so complicated to make. Removing all but a small amount of padding, making the upper 1 piece and shifting the lacing challenged every skill we have as designers and makers. These shoes will give you a performance advantage over any athletes that do not have them

The Best shoe! I have tried many shoes in my career I’m very happy i made the change to RBC! Performance / comfort / style all in one! - Shane Perkins, Australian Track Cycling Team
