MAAP and QUOC Launch a Series of Limited-Edition Collaborations, Starting with a Redesign of the Gran Tourer XC.
MAAP, the Australian premium cycling apparel specialist, and QUOC, the British cycling shoe expert, are launching a limited-edition collab that’s already generating buzz. The first in a series to come, this alliance brings together two alternative cycling players with a common goal: to combine bold design and uncompromising performance. On the menu? A revisited Gran Tourer XC, QUOC’s all-terrain star, in a “Fog” colorway designed to match MAAP’s Alt_Road™ line.

A Fusion of Style and Technicality
Quoc Pham, founder of QUOC, doesn’t hide his enthusiasm: “Working with MAAP is much more than just a paint job. We innovated, refined, to create something unique that speaks to our fans. Our values and our love for cycling are reflected in every detail.”
The same vibe at MAAP, where Misha Glisovic, Creative Director, adds: “We love mixing performance and style. With QUOC, we pushed this idea to the max for a shoe that performs on the trails and looks great off them. We can’t wait to see it in action!”
Gran Tourer XC “Fog”: All-Terrain Revisited
This MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC is not just a makeover. The “Fog” colorway, a subtle and elegant grey, aligns with MAAP’s Alt_Road™ range, 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 more breathability.
At 327 g, it retains its stiff carbon sole for explosive pedaling, a grippy TPU tread for scrambling off the bike, and a robust microfiber upper with a rubber toe cap to absorb impacts.
Comfort and Precision on the Trails
Long gravel or XC rides can be grueling. The Gran Tourer XC delivers: padded heel and gusseted tongue for top comfort, even after hours. QUOC’s Dual Dial system adjusts to the millimeter, in one swift motion, and the vents keep your feet cool in the scorching sun. In short, an ally for tackling everything from muddy singletrack to extended bivouacs.
Where to Find It?
The MAAP x QUOC Gran Tourer XC is available online at MAAP and QUOC, at MAAP LaB, and at select retailers. Price: 295 €
A rare piece for cyclists who want to perform without sacrificing style.
