The pull tab is a feature exclusive to the MAAP edition of the shoe.<\/p>\n<p>The shoe also features a lightweight ribbed TPU tongue that moulds to the rider\u2019s foot and larger ventilation holes compared to the original model.<\/p>\n<p>The Gran Tourer XC is designed for both race performance and durability. Weighing around 325g, it pairs a stiff carbon composite sole with a grippy TPU tread and replaceable studs for power transfer and traction. The abrasion-resistant microfibre upper and reinforced toe guard complete the design.<\/p>\n<p>For long-haul comfort, the shoe features heel cushioning, a gusseted tongue, and QUOC\u2019s Dual Dial closure system for a secure, custom fit. Ventilation helps to keep feet cool.<\/p>\n<p>The MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC will be available online from MAAP and QUOC, at MAAP LaB\u2019s and selected MAAP and QUOC retailers. It is priced at \u00a3250 \/ \u20ac295 \/ US$330.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.maap.cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">www.maap.cc<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quoc.cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">www.quoc.cc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MAAP, the Melbourne, Australia-based premium cycling apparel brand, has again collaborated with British cycling footwear brand QUOC for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[445],"tags":[49,48,635,82],"class_list":["post-184739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184739\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
