From a thought bubble, to prototype, to extensive testing, eventual production and finally receiving high accolade at the world’s biggest bike show, the Helix has been a major success for Bont Cycling.<\/p>\n

But as Steven Nemeth of Bont explained, this one’s not so simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked extensively on this project and are very happy with how it\u2019s turned out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us integration with the shoe is the big thing,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe wanted to put a shoe together that really could become a part of the riders’ foot. In most traditional types of shoes you\u2019ll have a ratchet system that essentially pulls the upper tight, across the top. What we wanted to do was get something that would work around the whole foot and basically pull the shoe around it rather than just applying localised tension.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wire cabling from a single BOA dial routes rearward, down the side of the shoe and into a tube where it\u2019s guided around the carbon soul before making the return loop the the closure. It\u2019s one of those design concepts that make you think \u2018why wasn’t this done earlier?\u2019 But, as Steven explained, turning the design concept into reality was both challenging and complicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe foot\u2019s not the easiest shape to shape to work around,\u201d he said. \u201cEspecially with the various bone structures. But we managed to get around it and it now works quite nicely. What it does is spread the load across the foot in a thorough way. There\u2019s no spot tension, it\u2019s a very gradual and very comfortable pull. It makes you feel even more part of the shoe than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n
