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™ closure system with integrated 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 shoe and allows dynamic adjustment of the tension by acting directly on the BOA® Fit System with a one-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. Cyklon: float like a butterfly, run like the wind.

The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
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.
The Frixion range uses 5 custom formulated compounds from mountain running to climbing shoes.

The Mountain Running® models use the exclusive eco-friendly La Sportiva insoles by OrthoLite® Hybrid, made using 20% recycled material from the production process. These insoles are designed for both men’s and women’s feet and the thicknesses and materials differ to suit the weight of the average user.
• Eco-friendly and washable: they contain recycled rubber and are machine-washable. • Maximum wearing comfort thanks to the insole ventilation and the highly breathable PU foam cells: the foot is always dry and kept at the perfect temperature. • They facilitate the wicking of sweat thus keeping the foot dry. • Enhanced durability thanks to the anti-compression technology which keeps material compression down to less than 5% over time.
