"Last summer, Bikerumor got an early look at the new Freerider Pro BOA shoes at Crankworx Whistler. This model introduces the convenience of a BOA Fit System to a very popular MTB shoe, and having owned laced Freeriders in the past, I agree that the BOA dial was a great addition. I got my hands on the Freerider Pro BOA shoes this Spring, and have been riding them almost exclusively since, so they've seen plenty of action on the trails."
"The Freerider Pro BOA shoes are constructed with synthetic uppers, which have a textile lining and a sturdy, reinforced toe cap. These shoes get Stealth S1 rubber soles with FiveTen's classic dotty tread. An EVA midsole provides cushioning and comfort. Of course, the big feature of this model is the BOA Li2 Fit System. This system uses a single BOA dial to cinch up the shoes. The dial twists to tighten and pops upwards to release the cable."
"When I tried on the Freerider Pro BOAs, they seemed to fit just slightly bigger than the previous Freeriders I've ridden. I assumed this was because the older models I owned were laced, so I was likely able to cinch down the uppers more evenly on my foot vs. the BOA dial. The BOA system does put slightly more pressure on the top section of my foot near the cuff, but it pulls evenly enough on my feet to keep them snug everywhere."
Freerider Pro BOA pairs a single-dial BOA Li2 Fit System with FiveTen’s established Freerider platform to replace laces and simplify closure. The upper is synthetic with a textile lining and reinforced toe cap, while Stealth S1 rubber soles and an EVA midsole provide grip, cushioning, and pedal support. The BOA dial tightens by twisting and releases by popping up, offering even hold though it places slightly more pressure near the cuff. Fit can feel marginally larger than older laced models, but the shoes remain comfortable, supportive, and show minimal wear after extensive trail use.
