“QUOC has launched Mono II, a race-grade road cycling shoe and the latest in the company’s range of premium performance footwear. A successor to QUOC’s strap-closure Mono, every design element has been selected to increase convenience and remove distractions from the ride.

At 249g, the shoe is lightweight and features a unidirectional, hand-laid carbon fibre sole that provides effortless power transfer to the pedals. Representing the brand’s first use of QUOC Technology dual dial closure system, the shoe slides easily on and off, while a custom-moulded lace guide allows for fast and intuitive tension adjustment.
Designed for comfort across any ride distance, the Mono II last was meticulously hand-worked to precisely follow the contours of the foot. At the footbed, it features a vibration-absorbing, ball-of-foot pressure point release, a choice of three arch-support options for a tailor-like fit, and supportive heel padding.

Additional enhancements include a two-piece, weather-resistant upper inherited from the brand’s top selling silhouette, the Gran Tourer, and a supple, dovetail padded tongue improves ventilation. Elegant, brogue-inspired, zig-zag stitching offers an additional layer of strength in what is already a shoe built to go the distance.
