QUOC may not be the loudest voice in cycling footwear, but it is one worth listening to. Just look at the recent MAAP collaboration for proof of that. No nonsense, no gimmicks. Just a quiet, confident belief in doing things properly... and making them look good too. Which explains why the QUOC SS25 line-up looks less like a marketing play and more like a lesson in performance-driven design.
Leading the charge for QUOC SS25 is the M3 Pro (£320), developed in collaboration with Geraint Thomas – a man who knows a thing or two about marginal gains. A new ribbed TPU upper locks the foot in place, a sculpted heel cup improves stability, and a full carbon sole delivers unflinching stiffness.
If that £320 price tag has you wincing, fear not, because the M3 Sport (£220) offers the same carbon platform but swaps in a plush PU upper and padded tongue for all-day comfort. The dual-dial closure remains, but the tone is easier, looser, and maybe a little more fun. You still get the speed – just with softer edges.
QUOC has also introduced new colourways for its off-road Gran Tourer series. The XC now comes in Moss (earthy green with a flash of yellow) and Chalk (crisp white with plum accents), while the Gran Tourer II gets a muted lavender update called Stone.
The collection is available now via the brand’s website and selected retailers.
