Fizik R2 Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave Road Shoes

Fizik R2 Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave Road Shoes

A new breed of super-light and super-ventilated racing shoes, the Fizik R2 Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave Road Shoes deliver race-winning, rival-dropping pedalling performance alongside outstanding levels of cool airflow. 

Fizik’s engineers set themselves the task of creating a super-light shoe that made no sacrifices to foot support and pedalling performance. It also had to be incredibly breathable too. The result is the R2 Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave Road Shoes. 

Aeroweave Technology

Aeroweave is an innovative woven fabric, interweaving lightweight nylon fibres with filaments of thermoplastic polymer. This combination creates a net-like structure that is highly durable but offers incredible levels of ventilation. Not only that, Aeroweave offers a supple fit, moving and cradling the foot for comfort while retaining the full support you need for a stable and efficient pedal stroke. 

Powerstrap Performance

The R2 Vento Powerstrap Aeroweave secure your foot with a simple but ingenious configuration of the traditional strap system.

In order to offer stability and comfort throughout your ride, the Powerstrap system features a lightweight and reliable hook and loop strap system that pulls together the two sides of the upper. However, unlike a traditional system, the Powerstraps fully wrap around the upper. This provides even pressure across the whole foot, the ribbon wrapping around your foot for an unrivalled level of riding comfort. Another benefit is a much more aero finish than a traditional strap system. 

R2 Carbon Outsole

The stiffest and lightest sole unit in the Fizik range, R2 Carbon Outsole delivers incredible responsiveness, with power transferred to your pedals with outstanding efficiency.  Jump for a sprint or attack a climb and you’re rewarded with immediate acceleration – only fitness is holding you back.

Efficient pedalling is also optimised thanks to the cleat track position. This has been set further rearwards to improve pedalling dynamics, reduce knee compression and power transfer – it’s especially well-suited to very aggressive, forward aero riding positions.
