The Nimbl Ultimate Glide is a precision-built Italian cycling shoe created for riders who place an exceptional value on connection, control and pure pedal efficiency. Nimbl describes the Glide philosophy as being centred around a heightened sense of connection to the pedals, allowing every acceleration, change of pace and sustained effort to feel natural and instinctive. At just 190g per shoe in size 43, the Ultimate Glide combines an exceptionally low weight with a sole stack of less than 2mm, bringing the rider remarkably close to the pedal.
At the foundation of the Ultimate Glide is Nimbl's newly designed monocoque carbon chassis, engineered to increase power transfer while retaining the distinctive contours of the previous generation. The new microfiber upper has also been developed to provide greater adaptability around the foot, creating a more precise and connected fit. Completing the construction is the BOA Li2 fit system, offering fine micro-adjustment and secure retention for demanding efforts and changing conditions.
The result is a cycling shoe that prioritises feel as much as outright stiffness. Rather than simply creating an ultra-rigid platform, Nimbl has focused on making the Ultimate Glide feel like a natural extension of the rider's foot, giving you a precise and tactile connection to the bike throughout every pedal stroke. The combination of Italian craftsmanship, monocoque carbon construction and minimalist weight makes it particularly suited to performance road riding, racing and riders who demand the very best from their equipment.
