Weight savings, ventilation, performance

Powerstrap Aeroweave X is the lightest and most breathable off-road racing shoe in fiziks entire range — and the perfect solution for demanding XC tracks or fast gravel races. Leveraging technology originally developed for the pro road peloton, the Aeroweave woven fabric reduces weight while drastically increasing breathability. Additionally, on wet rides in rainy weather, Aeroweave doesn't absorb water, keeping your feet light to spin fast and dry quickly — ideal for the unpredictable conditions frequently encountered when racing or riding off roads. For reliable support, the Powerstrap acts as an easily adjustable, secure, and crash-proof closure system to provide superior foot containment as well as balanced support throughout the entire pedal stroke.

Aeroweave Evolution

The pursuit of reducing weight and increasing ventilation while maintaining support and protection led fiziks designers and engineers to develop an entirely new material: Aeroweave. Now in its second generation, Aeroweave woven fabric interlaces nylon fibers with filaments of thermoplastic polymers for an even lighter shoe that doesn’t lose its original tenacity, providing the strength and support required in fast-paced off-road competition.

The power of Powerstrap

While most traditional hook and loop closures simply pull together both sides of the shoe’s upper, with Powerstrap, a ribbon wraps around the foot, providing secure containment using just two straps. The instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable for a customized fit and compression. And now, these straps have been streamlined to make them even lighter and stronger. With Powerstrap, you’ll feel the performance, not the pinch.

Efficient transfer, excellent grip

With Powerstrap Aeroweave X, the lightweight, strong upper construction is complemented with a race-ready carbon outsole. With a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, the carbon plate efficiently transfers power generated from the shoe directly to the pedals. Furthering both versatility and performance, the X1 outsole is equipped with generous studs and a rubber coating that covers the entire surface, including the midfoot, delivering improved traction for any off-the-bike moments.
