Fit Notes

The Ultimate Glide offers a high-performance fit with excellent heel retention and a slightly more accommodating forefoot than many traditional race shoes. The updated upper construction improves adaptability around the foot while maintaining the precise locked-in feel demanded during hard efforts and racing. Riders between sizes may benefit from consulting the Nimbl sizing guide carefully.

Why We Love It

Fast, responsive and incredibly connected under load, it feels purpose-built for riders chasing every possible performance advantage — whether sprinting for the line, climbing alpine passes or racing at full gas all day long.
