The X5 Terra features an adaptive fit, trail protective materials and pronounced rubber treads for off-road grip.
The X5 Terra’s asymmetric opening is fastened using a single micro-adjustable Boa L6 B dial running a steel-coated nylon lace through tough, light ‘Slipstream’ plastic guides. The Boa is combined with a 25mm microfibre and Velcro strap making it quick and easy to get a precision fit for any foot shape. Optimum fit means comfort and performance.
Its laser perforated microtex upper and lightweight, breathable inner mesh provide flexible support and cooling while the thicker tongue material provides vital trail impact protection. The composite carbon fibre vented outsole and fi’zi:k insole combine to give support, comfort and efficient power transfer. It has light, tough woven heel loops for carrying and storage.
The X5 Terra inspires trail confidence thanks to its all terrain grip provided by pronounced tread that fully encompases the heel section, toe box and across the instep and outsteam for sturdy support for riders using clip-in pedals with a smaller platform. They are equally suited to riders wanting to use for commuting where they need to walk from the bike storage area to the office.
- Glove-like fit: it provides custom comfort with smooth, even closure and no pressure points.
- Powerful closure: once locked into place, BOA reels and laces stay that way.
- Micro-adjustability: BOA reels offer seemingly infinite degrees of fine tuning.
- Quick on, quick off: BOA saves time when seconds count.
- On-the-fly adjustment: get easy, one-handed adjustment with a quick turn of the BOA dial.
- Durable: made from aircraft grade stainless steel, BOA laces are stronger per gram than tank armour.
- Lightweight: BOA closures shed water, mud and ice, shaving precious weight.
BIKE MARATHON/RACE TIPP
"The fizik shoe is very light and not overly padded, but still comfortable. The foot is reliably fastened in the shoe and the rubberized Boa wheels can also be easily operated with gloves. Power is efficiently applied to the pedal, but because of the low and very stiff profile, running is not one of its strengths. The Terra X5 is very well ventilated, and the rubberized heel area gives the foot a good grip."
