FAQ

What's new in the MX239 Gravel vs the MX238?: The MX239 is purpose-built for gravel: integrated tongue fused to the medial upper for firmer foot hold, fiberglass-reinforced heel counter for stability, and greater BOA dial spacing for independent zone adjustment. The Wide version gives your foot real room in the toe box before these features engage.

How does the carbon-composite outsole compare to full carbon?: The carbon-composite outsole is stiffer than a trail shoe for efficient power transfer but more flexible than a pure road carbon outsole, and the rubber lugs provide meaningful grip on varied surfaces including hike-a-bike sections.

Is the MX239 Gravel SPD compatible?: The MX239 Gravel uses Shimano SPD two-bolt cleat mounting, compatible with all standard SPD pedal systems used on gravel and mountain bikes.
