Ride Concepts Hellion Clip Charcoal/Manzanita

Ride Concepts Hellion Clipless – Women’s Version

Evolution may happen by natural selection, but sometimes a little nudging helps too. Designed for riders who want the performance of clipless pedals with the comfort and style of the popular Hellion flat, the Hellion Clipless Women’s offers lightweight construction, weather resistance, and excellent power transfer. Perfect for trail, enduro, freeride, and all-mountain riders who demand control, protection, and lasting comfort.

Design & Construction

Built with a lightweight microfiber synthetic upper featuring a two-panel design that minimizes seams and prevents water ingress. The upper is abrasion- and weather-resistant, while a fully gusseted tongue keeps out dirt and debris. The hook-and-loop strap adds extra foot stability and retention, ensuring a precise fit even on rough terrain.

Power & Pedal Connection

The 42mm wide Cleat Box with index markings offers an extended adjustment range for exact cleat positioning. The RC PowerDrive nylon shank enhances stiffness for efficient power transfer without compromising comfort. DST Clip Grip rubber outsole, developed in collaboration with Rubber Kinetics (Goodyear), provides excellent pedal traction and durability, whether you’re charging down descents or tackling technical climbs.

Comfort & Performance

The EVA midsole absorbs shocks while maintaining support and responsiveness. A dual-density EVA insole increases cushioning and reduces fatigue on long rides. Perforated ventilation zones improve airflow, keeping feet cooler and drier. Elastic lace tuck keeps laces secure and out of the drivetrain.

Protection & Durability

Reinforced TPU toe and heel protection with internal shielding guards against impacts and wear. An antibacterial mesh lining helps control odor, ensuring freshness on multi-day rides. All materials are selected for long-term performance and resistance to moisture, mud, and abrasion.
