Horst bites into weight savings with titanium CX toe spikes

Horst Engineering has added a lighter weight option to their original, patented stainless steel toe spike collection. President Scott Livingston says they’re 40% lighter than the stainless steel spikes. They’re also about 40% more expensive. The Pro Kit, which includes four sets covering  all conditions, is $125.49 versus $83.49 for steel. Or get just the size you need for less. These shoes belong to Art Roti, Horst’s GM and product designer/chief engineer, which also got the sheet metal screw treatment just in case the ground is icy.
The spikes were designed here in Hartford, CT, for this particular type of mud. Their HQ is just across the river from the USAC Cyclocross National Championships course, and they were the first to put on a race at this park years ago.
