MAAP and QUOC are launching a series of limited-edition collaborations, starting with a redesign of the Gran Tourer XC.
MAAP, the Australian cycling clothing specialist premium, and QUOC, the British cycling shoe expert, are launching a limited-edition collaboration that's already causing a stir. The first of a series to come, this alliance brings together two players in the alternative cycling world with a common goal: to combine bold design with uncompromising performance. On the menu? A reimagining of the Gran Tourer XC, QUOC's all-terrain star, in a "Fog" colorway tailored to match MAAP's Alt_Road™ line.

A fusion of style and technicality
Quoc Pham, founder of QUOC, does not hide his enthusiasm: “ Working with MAAP is more than just a lick of paint. We've innovated and refined to create something unique that resonates with our fans. Our values and love of cycling are reflected in every detail. »
Same vibe at MAAP, where Misha Glisovic, creative director, adds: “ We love combining performance and style. With QUOC, we've taken this idea to the next level for a shoe that delivers on the trails and rocks off them. We can't wait to see it in action! »
Gran Tourer XC “Fog”: the off-roader revisited
This MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC isn't just a makeover. The subtle and stylish "Fog" gray colorway aligns with MAAP's Alt_Road™ line, with twists that set it apart: an Alt_Road heel tab, an ultra-light ribbed TPU band that hugs the foot, and XXL vents for extra breathability.
At 327g, it retains its rigid carbon sole for explosive pedaling, a grippy TPU band for off-bike climbing, and a robust microfiber with a rubber toe cap to absorb shocks.
Comfort and precision on the trails
Long gravel or XC rides can be tiring. The Gran Tourer XC delivers: a padded heel and gusseted tongue for ultimate comfort, even after hours. QUOC's Dual Dial system adjusts to the millimeter in one easy step, and the vents keep your feet cool in the blazing sun. In short, it's a great companion for everything from muddy singletrack to extended bivouacs.
Where to find it?
The MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC arrives online at MAAP et QUOC, at MAAP LaB, and at selected retailers. Price: 295 €
A rare piece for cyclists who want to perform without sacrificing style.
