Precise flat-pedal feel and durable protection for dirt jumps, park laps and technical trail riding.
The Ride Concepts Men’s Vice Flat Pedal MTB Shoes are built for riders who want maximum connection to their pedals without giving up the protection needed for hard riding. They are a natural fit for dirt jump, slopestyle, BMX-inspired riding, bike park laps and technical trails.
The key is the RC Fuzion outsole, which uses an inverse hexagon tread pattern to bring the pedal closer to your foot. This gives the Vice a more direct, responsive feel when setting up for tricks, loading into jumps or making quick foot adjustments on the trail.
Built for Pedal Feel
The RC Fuzion outsole uses sloped-angle inverse hexagons that vary from 9 mm at the toe and heel to 7 mm through the main pedal contact zone. This allows flat-pedal pins to engage the sole effectively, helping create dependable grip while retaining the flexibility and sensitivity needed for precise control.
High Grip rubber completes the outsole, giving riders a confident connection when pushing hard through berms, jumping or riding rough terrain.
Protection for Hard Riding
A durable suede upper handles regular scuffs and abrasion, while an internal TPU toe guard adds protection from rocks, pedals and unexpected impacts. The cup outsole includes 3 mm EVA for shock absorption and underfoot comfort.
The D3O® High Impact Zone insole helps absorb heavier impacts and reduce rider fatigue on repeated jumps, drops and rough landings.
Ready for the Dirt
An anti-bacterial mesh lining helps manage odour, while the fully gusseted tongue helps keep dirt and debris out. The result is a supportive, durable shoe that feels equally at home on a jump line, street spot or trail bike.

Who Is It For?
The Vice is for flat-pedal riders who value close pedal feel and control. It is particularly well suited to dirt jump, slopestyle, skatepark, pump track and bike park riders, but also works well for aggressive trail riders who prefer a more responsive shoe.
Our Thoughts
The Vice has a more direct feel than a typical trail shoe. The Fuzion outsole makes sense for riders who move their feet often, ride jumps or want a closer connection to the pedals. The D3O® insole and suede upper mean it still has the protection and durability needed for regular hard riding.
