The Vento Infinito Carbon 2 Wide Fit Road Shoes are premium, race-ready, road riding shoes. Made for those of you who demand instantaneous acceleration and rival-dropping power transfers. While the incredible performance from the R2 carbon sole is sure to make you smile, the superb comfort is just as thrilling - it's a shoe for tough interval efforts, intense crit races and the grind of the longest stage races. Wide fit. Supple and Strong With this wider version of the Vento, you'll find there is more room across the fore-foot, higher volume over the ball of the foot and wider metatarsal space. All this leads to greater comfort for the cyclist with a need for a wider fitting shoe. With an upper made from Microtex, the Vento Infinito Carbon 2 Road Shoes give you a fit that is both supple and strong, providing comfort from the very first pedal stroke. It also gives a precise and supportive fit of the foot, ensuring a stable platform during the whole of your crank rotation, driving pedalling efficiency. Customised Fit - BOA® Fit System To give a precise and comfortable fit, the Vento uses the dual Li2 BOA fit system. The Li2 dials have been redesigned to offer a lower profile, marginally improving aerodynamics while also making them less vulnerable to being accidentally hit. Each dial gives quick and easy micro-adjustment, with independent adjustment of the forefoot and instep. Fine-tuning the fit to your particular foot shape is now remarkably easy. 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. Cleat Guidance These Cycling Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
The application of The Spine Concept™ to handlebar shape is the result of fi’zi:k’s research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding fi’zi:k saddles. A correlation was found between the saddle shape each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding. Just as your choice of fi’zi:k Spine Concept™ saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, fi’zi:k offers this same concept to find your most comfortable handlebar shape. The Snake Handlebar: If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, deeper-drop handlebars. You will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) and deeper, classic-style drop (140mm). The Chameleon Handlebar: If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. You are better able to reach further, but perhaps you can’t get down quite as low on the handlebar drops as a Snake would be able to. You will prefer the Chameleon Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) but a shallower, more ergonomic-style drop (135mm). The Bull Handlebar: If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. You will not be able to reach as far or bend as low as a Snake or a Chameleon would be able to. You will prefer the Bull Handlebar because it has a shorter reach (80mm) and a shallower, more ergonomic-style handlebar drop (130mm). Please Note: Your shoulder width should determine your handlebar width, choose from the following centre-centre
Featherweight Knitted Upper Race-proven in the professional peloton, the Fizik Vento Infinito Knit Carbon 2 Cycling Road Shoes benefit from further refinement to the knitted upper design. It's now lighter than ever with improved ventilation too. Just as before the design allows for outstanding breathability, with ventilation zones integrated seamlessly into the upper. Fizik have stripped away more weight from this iteration of the shoe but have retained the same fabulous foot support. The knit system, with heat-fused TPU yarns, offers foot support just where you need it most, and less bulk where you don't. This gives you just the same pedalling efficiency and support you'd expect of a traditional cycling shoe but with less weight and more ventilation. A win-win situation.

Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Wing Flex Technology Wing Flex shell has engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex, the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions. Wing Flex allows the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. Tundra M1 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow and long shape of the Tundra.
This Aliante Carbon R3 features all the same advantages as the R1 but has a composite Glass shell instead of Carbon. The composite glass shell with co-injected nylon Twin Flex™ 'sweet spot' at the centre, and carbon braided rail, make this a lighter and stiffer alternative to the Aliante R3 Braided, R3 K:ium, R5 K:ium and Gamma models, whilst not compromising comfort. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light.

Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Twin Flex Technology Twin Flex construction combines two layers within the shell. A layer of multi-directional carbon fiber provides strength, while a bi-directional layer allows flex for comfort. The two layers are moulded together, so that the stiffer outer layer controls the flexibility of the inner layer. Aliante Carbon is for The Bull: Rigid Spine If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason you will rotate you pelvis fully and will benefit from the increased curvature (support) of the Aliante shape.
The Transiro Mistica Carbon from Fizik boasts a stubby, noseless shape that's ideal for the aero tuck position. Thanks to its extra durable carbon braided rail you'll benefit from outstanding adjustment to promote the perfect aero riding position. Its stunning channel design allows for superior weight distribution across all your sit bones while its seamless, friction-free nose construction allows for luxurious riding comfort. To top it off, its thermo-welded microtex cover is ultra-grippy for top-level riding stability.
The Antares 00 (00 meaning "the top" in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail (NEW for 2016) make this the lightest and most stiff Antares model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Antares 00 is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine. If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position. You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.
A 0.7mm layer of thermoformed carbon is overinjected with a carbon reinforced Nylon to create the shell, which includes WING FLEX™ and TAIL FLEX™ technologies. EVA foam provides support and comfort, while a Microtex cover with Cordura protection guarantees durability and abrasion resistance. Combined with a braided carbon fibre rail, these next gen technologies, brings the overall weight of the Gobi M1 to a low 155g.

The 00 product designation is a uniquely special badge, reserved for only the very best fi’zi:k products. Every 00 saddle is conceived and designed with a no-compromise approach to create the ultimate saddle. The Arione is 1 of fi’zi:k’s 3 Spine Concept™ Mens Road Saddle shapes. Of these 3, the Arione shape is flat, narrow and long. In certain respects, the launch of the original Arione in 2003 was the end of an era for black, non-descript functional-looking racing saddles. Fi’zi:k redefined the racing saddle category by introducing elegant products that were not only comfortable but also a source of beauty in their own right. The Arione shape has become a World bestseller. High-Quality Pro-Level Performance and Comfort The Arione 00 (00 meaning “the top” in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex and Mobius carbon braided rail make this the lightest and most stiff Arione model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, the special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Arione 00 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine.
