Fizik Terra Powerstrap X4 Shoes
Information provided by Fizik
Many riders these days want to be prepared for “all roads”, which could mean practically anything -a grueling asphalt climb, a rocky singletrack segment or even a fair bit of hiking through rocks and mud.
That is why Fizik designed the versatile Terra Powerstrap X4 featuring a carefully considered combination of support and comfort for mixed surfaces.
X4 OUTSOLE
Fizik developed a specific outsole, the X4: a carefully considered combination of stiffness and comfort, to turn pedals effectively on mixed surfaces; blending nylon – with targeted stiffness – and a rubber tread for effective grip and durability.
POWERSTRAP CLOSURE
While most traditional Velcro closures just pull together two sides of the shoe’s upper, in the Powerstrap configuration a ribbon wraps around the foot, providing secure containment using just two straps. The instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable for customized fit and compression.
Price: $149
