Fizik Gravita Tensor Flat Pedal MTB ShoesMade for the gravity-focused mountain biker, be it downhill or enduro, the Fizik Gravita Tensor Flat Pedal MTB Shoes give you superb pedal grip for precise bike control, tough durability for any trail and sublime comfort for a full day of shredding. There’s nothing more thrilling than riding fast on your mountain bike. And when you’re getting rowdy, the Gravita Tensor Flat Pedal MTB Shoes have been engineered to give you that ideal balance of protection, durability and a precise fit. X6 Outsole. Stay in Control.The heart of the Gravita Tensor Flat is the X6 Outsole. It’s this that keeps you confidently on the pedals and is crucial for reacting quickly, aggressively and nimbly to changing terrain and trail features.The stickiest Vibram® Megagrip rubber compound is formed into a zonal lug pattern. Low profile mid-foot tread offers an optimal mechanical interface with pedal pins for unshakeable pedal grip. You’ll also enjoy easy foot transitions on and off the pedals. Meanwhile, the heel and toes feature a deeper tread for greater traction when hiking back up the hill. Flex is also tuned for the flat pedal rider. The supple sole is able to flex over the pedal, improving grip while a widened bottom spreads pressure and offers plenty of contact with wide platform pedals. Precision FitDownhill and enduro racing is all about shorter more intense efforts. Sprinting from the start gate, pushing hard into berms and lung-busting racing to the finish line. And it’s the precise fit of the Gravita Tensor that supports your foot during those efforts. No power wasted. The ergonomically designed lace pattern creates an even tension across the foot and makes for easy adjustment to how you like your shoes to feel. Stability is also enhanced via Fizik’s Powerstrap. Sitting over the instep, it stabilises the plantar arch and locks your heel in place. It also doubles as a lace lock. Durable and ProtectiveWhile rowdy mountain bike riding demands a tough shoe, Fizik didn’t want to add unnecessary bulk or weight to the Tensor. The solution was to use a slim silhouette and utilise rip-stop fabrics that are very tough and yet remarkably light in weight. The rip-stop upper is also complemented by an injection-moulded TPU armoured toe-box to ward off rocks and roots - just what you need when you’re foot out and flat out. Laminated scuff-guards also protect in high wear areas.Lastly, when riding aggressively you’re constantly moving and it’s easy to hit your ankle to cranks and swingarms. Here the raised inner ankle pad takes the sting out of those impacts, while not affecting your ankle mobility.
