Cycling Shoes

KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS SUPERIOR POWER TRANSFER An all-new ExoBeam outsole features a dual-beam design made with ultralight 100% carbon fiber for superior toe-heel stiffness. The unique design significantly boosts power transfer while allowing enough torsional flex for natural foot movement. This helps minimize lower leg strain during the pedal stroke with zero watts wasted. PERSONALIZED FIT Most cycling shoe enclosures press the foot down toward the sole. The Surge Pro’s redesigned ExoWrap system draws the foot up into the shoe, using its unique wrap-around design and new micro-adjust Li2 Boa® reels. The result is a 360-degree foot closure that gives you an ultra-comfortable and personalized fit. COOL COMFORT A new polyurethane coated mesh upper with laser cut micro-perforations delivers maximum ventilation combined with long-lasting durability. The seams are welded rather than sewn, which helps minimize weight and gives these road shoes a sleek profile with a supple feel. - All-new ExoBeam outsole features a dual-beam design made with ultralight 100% carbon fiber lay-up construction for superior toe-heel stiffness - An all-new 360º wrap-around upper with high frequency welded seams and laser cut micro-perforations for optimal ventilation and a balanced foot climate - All-new internal ExoWrap structure for an ultra-comfortable, 360-degree foot enclosure and a customizable fit - All-new exclusive performance last offers all-day comfort and increased fit options - All new micro-adjust Li2 Boa reels give a super secure and comfortable fit, Ultra grippy SharkSkin heel liner gives a secure, slip-free fit even under the harshest conditions - Removable sock liner with tunable arch support and TransTextura Plus antimicrobial layer promotes a balanced foot climate

VENT CARBON SOLE - The VENT CARBON Sole features a light and replaceable heelpad in polyurethane to improve walkability and a replaceable integrated toe pad/vent cover.

The VENT CARBON Sole is designed with an integrated vent and air channels for heat dissipation and air flow. The vent can be opened or closed for 4-season comfort. The VENT CARBON Sole is handmade exclusively of carbon fiber in a weave pattern oriented at opposing angles that maximize stiffness while allowing for a small degree of controlled flex in the toe area. This carefully designed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The VENT CARBON Sole features a standard 3-hole drilling pattern, printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale as well as the Look Memory Eyelet for easy cleat alignment and replacement.

For a custom adjustment turn the screw towards the + sign to tighten the heel retention device and towards the – sign to open it. Light weight, easy to use, and replaceable. For additional security while pedaling, the new adjustable heel device is provided with reflex inserts for more visibility in dark conditions.
