Sidi’s new Atomus GTX gravel boot takes the Italian shoemaker far away from its established racing roots.

Available from September, the Atomus GTX combines the rugged looks of a hiking boot with lots of practical tech for adventure and gravel riding.

The upper combines a padded outer with a high-top neoprene-like wrap-around cuff. Internally, there’s a full Gore-Tex membrane for added weather-proofing.

The outsole has a soft, pliable, deep tread and, while the cleat plate is stiff, the outsole has plenty of flex.

The new gravel boot registers a 3 out of 10 on Sid's own stiffness scale. It is expected to retail for £250.
