Specifications

Description

The CX400L builds on the foundation of the CX400, delivering the same race-driven carbon platform and performance fit, now with a traditional lace closure system. Built on Lake’s Race Last, it balances pro-level stiffness, stability, and anatomical support with the timeless adjustability of laces.

Last

CX/TX RACE Last – Featuring a slightly more narrow toe box and tighter heel than the Competition last and less overall volume than the Sport last. Designed for very high-cadence riding with a slimmer fit.

Outsole

The CX400L features a full carbon fiber sole engineered for stiffness where needed and controlled flex where comfort is critical. This unique construction eliminates the need for heat molding by naturally adapting to the rider’s foot shape, providing race-level power transfer with long-ride comfort straight out of the box.

Lining

Clarino microfiber construction with strategically placed perforations ensures a lightweight, breathable upper that maintains structural integrity under load. Clarino offers the supple, form-fitting qualities of natural leather while resisting stretch and environmental wear, resulting in a consistent fit over time. The upper is engineered for long-ride comfort, supporting natural biomechanics while delivering the secure hold required for high-intensity efforts.

Closure

Traditional lace system with integrated keeper for secure retention and precise fit adjustment. Provides classic styling with modern function, allowing even tension across the foot and long-lasting stability.
