Dhb launches four new shoes to market
British brand dhb expands into the shoe market with typical wallet friendly offerings from £70
After a brief hiatus from the cycle shoe market, British brand dhb has dipped its toe back in with a number of shoes for a variety of disciplines; including road, mountain bike and triathlon.
Dhb aims to offer cyclists 'the complete package of performance cycling apparel' along with its new shoe offerings that promise exceptional performance and value the brand is known for.
There are four shoes in the road category starting as low as £70 for the Dorica and Troika and a Carbon Road D and Carbon Road R at £120. Two in the mountain bike range; Troika and Dorica MTB both at £70 and one triathlon shoe called the Trinity Tri at £75.

It is said to be made with a lightweight and stiff full carbon sole, with a single ATOP dial and two accompanying velcro straps.
