Gran Tourer or Gran Tourer II?

Same silhouette and walkable GravelGrip rubber sole; the difference is the closure. The Gran Tourer (Lace) uses QUOC’s double-lock laces: QUOC says lace-ups suit wider feet, and Cyclingnews found them secure all ride, but you can’t adjust on the move. The Gran Tourer II swaps them for a QUOC dial with one-click release and, per QUOC, a stiffer nylon-composite midsole, although QUOC’s current chart rates both 2.5/5 for stiffness. 352 g vs 342 g (EU 42).

Gran Tourer II or Gran Tourer XC?

The XC is the race version: two dials instead of one, a carbon-nylon composite midboard with TPU lugs and toe spikes (QUOC stiffness 4/5 vs 2.5/5), a rubber toe cap and three arch inserts, 327 g vs 342 g. The Gran Tourer II keeps the softer, more walkable GravelGrip rubber (traction 5/5 vs 4/5). Racing and fast gravel: XC; bikepacking and long walks: Gran Tourer II.

Yes: QUOC’s gravel shoes are made for it, with the SPD cleat recessed into the tread. QUOC’s own traction rating ranks them: Gran Tourer and Gran Tourer II 5/5 (GravelGrip rubber, softer 2.5/5 soles), Escape Off-Road and Gran Tourer XC 4/5 (TPU lugs plus toe spikes, stiffer soles). Cyclingnews called the Gran Tourer almost hiking-shoe-like. For long walks and hike-a-bike pick a Gran Tourer; for racing, the XC.

How do QUOC shoes size?

Measure your foot from heel to longest toe, in cycling socks, both feet, and use the larger. QUOC has two charts: for the same foot its gravel chart gives a bigger size than its road chart (a 27.0 cm foot is EU 42 in road shoes, EU 43 in gravel shoes). QUOC makes its shoes about 5 mm longer than the foot, advises sizing up if you are between sizes, and says its lace-up models suit wider feet. Whole EU sizes only, no wide versions. Cyclingnews found QUOC sizes slightly larger than most big brands, close to Shimano’s regular fit.

Is the QUOC dial a BOA?

No. QUOC uses its own in-house dial system on all its dial shoes (Mono II, M3, Escape, Gran Tourer II and XC). It tightens in small clicks; Cyclocross Magazine found that a short turn back releases the lace completely rather than loosening it click by click, so you re-tighten from open. QUOC sells its own replacement dial closure sets.

QUOC: measure both feet in your cycling socks, at the end of the day, and use the larger one. Its shoes are made about 5 mm longer than the foot length in the chart. Between sizes, size up. Wider feet: QUOC says its lace-up models offer more adjustability. QUOC uses two charts: for the same foot, its gravel shoes can come out a size larger than its road shoes.

How to measure

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance in centimetres. Measure both feet and go by the longer one.

Description

The Gran Tourer with a dial: QUOC took its best-selling Gran Tourer Lace and added its in-house dial with one-click release and what it calls a stiffer nylon-composite midsole, keeping the walkable GravelGrip rubber sole (5/5 traction on QUOC’s chart), 342 g per shoe (EU 42). For gravel riding, bikepacking and ultra-distance events with hike-a-bike; QUOC’s current chart still rates it 2.5/5 for stiffness, so if you want a firmer sole and two dials, look at the Gran Tourer XC.
