This is the Ultimate
With the ULTIMATE, we bring cycling shoe performance to another next level.
Unparalleled power transfer for all your explosive sprints and out-of-the-saddle efforts. In comparison to the EXCEED and AIR we have built in extra stiffness to the carbon fibre chassis. And we are not afraid to show it off – more exposed carbon fibre that highlights the unique handmade fabrication methods that are applied in the ULTIMATE.

The Ultimate GC contender
The shoe behind the Giro - Tour double
With an already rich racing pedigree, the ULTIMATE adds two new milestones to it’s palmares. As the shoe of choice for Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard during their winning campaigns at the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France, the ULTIMATE proves it’s place on top step at the world’s toughest races.
The Development Process
The ULTIMATE is a shoe born from the Pro Peloton. With input from Olympic Champion Greg van Avermaet and currently ranked #1 Team Jumbo-Visma, the ULTIMATE is raced by over 100 World Tour riders. Nimbl’s technical partnership with Team Jumbo-Visma, known for their meticulous attention to detail and high standards of performance, underscored the merit of the shoe and confirmed the power transfer, comfort and fit as best in class.
You can feel the craftmanship that Nimbl has put in these shoes, it’s all about performance and innovation and that’s the same values we have at our team. I’m happy with the shoes, as they are really lightweight which helps on hard climbs.
The shoes are race-proven, we know they do make a difference for our performance. Personally, I think they fit really well. You can see the attention for details as the shoes are handmade. I also like the stiffness of the shoes, which is important for riding on the highest level.
At a very low weight of barely 200 grams the ULTIMATE combines a very good fit with an ultra-stiff and stable carbon platform. When visiting the factory I witnessed the passion and craftsmanship that the nimbl crew put into the manual production of each pair of shoes. I truly believe that the nimbl ULTIMATEs present a new level of cycling shoe performance.
