Six-year development of innovative flat-pedal grip technology expands Leatt's product pipeline
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leatt Corporation (OTCQB: LEAT), a leading developer and marketer of head-to-toe protective equipment for MOTO, MTB, ADV, and a wide range of extreme and high-velocity sports, today announced the launch of two new flat-pedal MTB shoes with an innovative soft-compound rubber sole called SuperTack™, designed to maximize grip.
The latest additions to Leatt's growing shoe line-up are the low-top, laced Flat 3.0 SuperTack™ and the mid-top ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack™ BOA®. The unique SuperTack™ technology is the culmination of a six-year development process. Along with the high-grip rubber, the new shoes also include a sole layout with elevated lugs and deep channels on an off-center bias to naturally follow the optimum stance on the pedals.
"SuperTack™ is another example of our innovative design and engineering expertise, and of an expanding pipeline of products that improve the riding experience for riders at all levels, including professionals," said Leatt CEO Sean Macdonald. "Getting the grip right took seven iterations of the rubber compound and five revisions of the outsole pattern. The result is a flat-pedal shoe with grip that riders can feel from the first pedal stroke."
The new shoes have been tested by more than 100 riders, including Leatt team riders Chelsea Kimball, Josh "Ratboy" Bryceland, Clemens "C-Dog" Kaudela, Caleb Holonko and Sam "Dave" Hockenhull.
The Flat 3.0 SuperTack™ is a low-profile, laced shoe for trail and gravity riding, pump tracks and dirt jumping. It features KnitNet construction that fits like a sock, helping to eliminate pressure points, improve retention and repel debris. The engineered Stretch Laces expand and contract to accommodate foot swelling in high temperatures and on longer rides, with a high-grip texture that keeps them tied.
Leatt's ProFlat 5.0 SuperTack™ BOA is a premium flat-pedal mid-top shoe with added protection and support above the ankle. It uses the BOA® Fit System, the global leader in precision-fit technology. The multi-directional Li2 BOA® Fit System lets riders micro-adjust the fit on the fly, and it is built to perform in the toughest riding conditions. BOA®'s new Li2 dial platform has a sleek, low-profile design. It is also more durable than earlier dials and made with improved sustainability.
