Simplicity, efficiency and adaptability sum up the Terra Powerstrap X4 cycling shoes. They've been engineered for the drop bar rider who loves to ride mixed terrain, darting off the tarmac onto singletrack before ripping along an endless gravel road and seeking adventures beyond the normal. Combining the effortless efficiency of a road shoe with the durability of an MTB shoe they are truly versatile. Powerstrap Closure System The Terra Powerstrap X4 shoes make use of Fizik's ingenious new Powerstrap closure system to deliver simple to use and exemplary comfort. In order to offer stability and comfort throughout your ride, the Powerstrap system features a lightweight and reliable hook and loop strap system that, unlike a traditional strap, pulls together the two sides of the upper thanks to the ribbon wrapping around the foot. This provides even pressure across the whole foot from just two straps and delivers an unrivalled level of riding comfort with minimal bulk or complexity. X4 Outsole For a shoe likely to see action both on and off the road the sole unit needs to be versatile. Fizik developed a specific outsole, combining the stiffness of a road-going shoe with a pared-down rubber MTB style tread to provide grip and durability when you're off the bike. For riding on mixed surfaces, the nylon sole offers efficient power transfer but with dialled in flex to take the sting out of rougher terrain. Ride without limits and seek new adventures and new horizons with the Terra Powerstrap X4 cycling shoes.

Given that cycling is often equal parts cunning and strength, the pros use Kask's Protone Helmet to keep their strategic organ in top shape so it can effectively direct their energies when frantic finales send all the blood rushing to the legs. In-mold construction polycarbonate shell over EPSOcto fit cradle and adjustable chinstrap14 Large air ventsEasy-clean ECO chin strapCoolmax paddingIncredibly aerodynamicWeight: 230gTactical engines of the pro's are protected by an in-mold construction of a polycarbonate shell bonded with an EPS foam body, all of which is built on a frame designed to let the helmet absorb impact while still maintaining enough structural integrity to see you safely through the duration of a crash. While safety is a helmet's first (and usually last) job, there are certain benchmarks that today's industry expects top-end protectives to meet. The current front runner in this category is aerodynamics, and the Kask ran the Protone through the expected wind-tunnel paces in order to design a model that dodges the wind whether you're head-on in the drops or in virtually any other cycling posture imaginable.The second consideration is cooling, and unlike many of its competitors, the Protone doesn't sacrifice ventilation for aerodynamics. In addition to the immediately obvious vents and rear exhaust port, the Protone incorporates Coolmax padding. Coolmax padding equates to more efficient moisture transfer and evaporation to complement your body's natural cooling process. They're also antibacterial, removable, and contribute to the comfortable, personalized fit of the floating Octo Fit cradle and corresponding ECO Chinstrap.
