Lake Cycling is set to showcase its new CX400 cycling shoe at CIN LIVE 2026.
The CX400 has evolved from Lake Cycling’s original mouldable design into a more streamlined shoe built around the brand’s Race last. The new model combines a full carbon fibre sole with a supportive upper, aiming to provide the stiffness, stability and power transfer required for competitive cycling while offering a more approachable fit.
A key feature is the 100K carbon fibre sole, which is designed to provide race-level stiffness and power transfer. An integrated carbon heel counter provides additional support without requiring heat moulding, while the low-profile cleat interface positions the foot closer to the pedal for efficient power transfer and responsive pedalling.
The CX400 uses a Clarino Microfiber upper with strategic perforation, providing a lightweight and breathable structure designed to resist stretch and maintain a consistent fit. The shoe also features a rubber toe guard for additional protection and a replaceable TPU heel pad.
For closure, Lake has integrated the BOA Fit System with dual Li2 Push/Pull dials. The system is combined with Lake’s shoe last and upper construction to provide a precise fit and support across the foot.
According to Lake, the CX400 is positioned for riders seeking a carbon platform inspired by the original CX400 concept, but with a refined platform that combines race-level support with a more accessible fit. Its monocoque-style carbon structure is designed to support rearfoot stability while maintaining comfort for longer rides.
