Speedplay Zero Aero Stainless Steel Pedals Clip-in Pedals
  • £182.49
  • RRP £229.99
  • Saving you £21

Every aspect of the Zero Aero pedal design has been painstakingly tailored to boost speed by minimising wind drag. Developed specifically for Time Trials and Triathlons where every second counts, the Zero Aero Pedal System provides more speed with the same power. Aerodynamic Due to its aerodynamic advantage, the Zero Aero Pedal System was chosen by Bradley Wiggins to set the UCI World Hour Record of 54.526 km on June 7, 2015, at the Lee Valley Olympic Velodrome in London. The average speed of the historic ride was 33.88 mph. Considered the holy grail of cycling achievements, the Hour Record is an honour earned by the cyclist who covers the greatest distance in kilometers in one hour. Large, stable cycling platform The Zero Aero Pedal System provides the same solid connection as conventional single-sided pedals, but with Speedplay's unique, inverted design the cleat provides the platform once the cleat is engaged. Quality without compromise Zero Aero pedals use precision cartridge and needle bearings - three of them instead of two found in most other pedals - which allows the Zero Aero to be thinner for a lower stack height, better cornering clearance, and reduced aerodynamic drag. Like all Speedplay Pedal Systems, the locking edges of Zero Aero pedals and cleats are metal-on-metal for durability and safety, unlike their competitors who use engagement edges made of plastic. Foot adjustments No other pedal system offers the precise adjustment or convenience of independently adjustable fore-aft, side-to-side, and rotational foot positions. Unlike the inexact set-up of traditional cleats, each of the three critical foot-axis adjustments of Zero Aero Walkable™ Cleats can be set or changed without affecting the position of the other two adjustments. This feature also eliminates guesswork and misalignment when replacing cleats.

The multi award-winning Lava collection has become Zone3’s endurance staple that uses the very best in Italian and French materials, to repel water, optimise aerodynamics and enhance comfort. The sort is formed from three main materials, including: Aero-Stripe Located on the raglan sleeves and upper back, Aero-Stripe material from Italy is an innovative striped material that improves aerodynamics. The UPF-50 textured material creates turbulence across the key boundary layers during high speeds on the bike, reducing drag and improving race times. AeroForce Soft-Touch A French woven fabric which is used on the main front and back panels delivers an incredibly comfort feel. The material is also incredibly breathable with excellent sweat wicking for optimum temperature control. Offering full freedom of movement AeroForce has a 360-degree stretch. Sensory The high denier rating of the Sensory fabric, used throughout the suit, delivers balanced compression where you need it most. This helps to improve muscle support, increase blood flow away from the legs, enhance endurance and improve stamina. Key Features Iron Performance Pad Designed by Cytech, one of the World’s leading pad manufacturers in Italy, the Iron Performance pad offers high-quality support and comfort. The pad is perforated and laminated to deliver supreme breathability and quick drying capabilities. Additionally, the pad is formed with high-density foam that gives more padding and protection when cycling with central channelling in the perinea area designed to offset pressure points. The high level of elasticity in the pad also maximises freedom of movement when swimming and running. Heat Bonded Sleeves Optimising the fit of the suit, the head bonded sleeves reduce drag, completely streamlining the suit. Comfort Fit Design Built for long-distance the trisuit is designed to provide a long-lasting comfortable fit that maximises performance through the swim, bike and run. Flatlock Stitching Throughout the suit, flatlock seams are used to further streamline the suit and to minimise chafing and discomfort. Nutrition Storage At the rear of the suit is an easy-access storage pocket which is great for storing nutrition and essentials. For added security the pocket comes with a heat bonded cover. Zip Protection To prevent chaffing and irritation the front zip is protected with soft fabrics used to cover the inside of the zipper, combined with a ‘fold over’ cover for improved next-to-skin comfort. Leg Grippers Integrated leg grippers made with a premium Italian design that utilises natural gold fibres for improved comfort. The grippers help stabilise the position of the suit, keeping the legs in place especially during the bike and run stages.
