I have the RC Wildcat's and absolutely love them! I may try some Hellion Elites for the warmer months. Good Review! 🍻
Thanks, I’m digging them.
Elites arrived on Saturday. On the walking wounded list right now but hope to try them out next week.
Right on 🤘
Love my Ride Concept Spd "transitions"
Nice 🤘
I did appreciate your efforts in achieving a goal! Gotta give credit where due. 😇💪🙏👐😎
Thanks buddy 🤘
If you ever had 5-ten, do you feel these are better, equal or worst?
Unfortunately, I haven’t used 510s
What about breathability? have you tried Five Ten Freerider( very breathable, feeling breeze trough them, but way too soft midsole, too thin outer sole) So how do they compare to those?
I currently have 2022 Ride Concept TNT, they are more of a autumn, winter without wet snow, fine in -10C with one pair of wool socks, spring shoe. But during summer they are too warm.
I’ve never tried those so idk.
I'm looking for a new set of shoes...
What size do you have, I have read they run small. I wear a 13 in fiveten freeriders.
I wear a 12 and they seem fine to me.
I tried a pair, I wear a 13 and they were too tight and had to return, was super bummed out, they looked and felt well made.
Wear 10.5 and RC runs small - had to return them. Switch out for 11.5 on - feel good walking around - and have 11 on the way to see which is better
Been a 510 guy for years. Riding 510 free rider pro. The soles are falling apart after 10 months. I bought the RC Livewire to see how RC compares. I am waiting for them to arrive. Looking forward to trying. What's different from Hellion?
I'm not sure on that model. Isn't that the high top model? I'd have to go look at their website to see the difference.
Do they feel narrow on your foot at all? I've thought about doing a RC vs 5Ten video. Have you ridden both and if so, what were your thoughts?
They don’t feel narrow to me, however, I think I have a narrow foot compared to others with a 12.
@@B1KER Only flat pedal shoes in town that is wide enough for me. Normally wear 4E wide.
Great effort on your 90 seconds, my question is how stiff are the elite? If they flex too much my feet tend to start numbing up
They seem fairly stiff but not so bad you don’t mind walking in them.
Not grippy enough. I just did a video Hellion Elite vs. Freerider. The Hellion Elite grip doesn’t compare to the five ten
I’ll have to try them sometime. These seem good with my pedals. I can’t imagine what more sticky feels like. 🤯
@@B1KER I rode those shoes for a while and always liked them. Didn’t notice the difference until I got my new five ten Freerider Mid VCS. Elites are still good shoes
Looking for my first pair of real MTB shoes. Have you also tried 510s? If so witch do you like better?
I haven’t tried them before. Sorry.
Been riding 510s free rider and free rider pros (current shoe). Both are great but don't last long. I have major holes in the sole of the pros after 10 mths. I have about 1,000 miles on them. I bought some RC Livewire and haven't ridden yet, will be interesting to see difference.
@@talkmauro How are they? Better than 510?
How do feel they are in regards to shock absorption for ankles? Average or above?
They seem good to me there. They do have a high top version that may help your ankles more.
Do they run small for you, I got a size 13 and they were small and they don’t have a size 14 super bummed out, they looked really sweet
Hmm, they seem to be true to size for me.
@@B1KER thanks for the reply, I’m a larger biker 6’2” 270 lbs and know the struggle so I have a special appreciation for your channel and I enjoy the content.
Ran small for me too.
You going to get a new hardtail now that they have the new 2022 one?
I’ve thought about it, but I doubt it.
Grip vs Five Ten??
Unfortunately, I haven't worn 5 Ten's. :(
Wow! I'm officially cheap...old...or both! Haha!
I got a pair of knock off vans with the same tread for $10. (At Gabriel Bros)
MTB specific shoes offer way more support in the sole in addition to being more grippy on the pedals. Regular skate shoes have very soft soles because you generally want 'board feel' when skateboarding, I don't think anyone wants 'pedal feel' when biking. On longer rides I'm sure your feet would appreciate it.
I think they will definitely work, but you won’t have the foot protection that these have as well as the sole on these are much stiffer. As the other guy said your feet will definitely feel the difference.
