Peloton quality and a crit racers price.
We have to admit that it took us a bit to distinguish the differences between the R3 and Fizi:k s newest creation the R5 Uomo Shoes . Some points are obvious like the replacement of kangaroo leather for Microtex on the uppers and a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole instead of the R3s carbon fiber. However were more apt to call those differences enhancements to both comfort and value. Now the shoes feature more ventilation and a rather comparable level of stiffness at a fraction of the cost. And with only a 20 gram difference between the two it calls into question how much do we actually love leather and carbon So besides 100 the question begs to be asked what are the differences between the R3 and R5 Well it all comes down to materials. Starting at the closure system Fizi:k replaced the Sailcloth fabric found on the hook-and-loop straps R3 with its go-to-material Microtex. Essentially this is the same synthetic leather thats found on everything from Fizi:k bar tape to the uppers of the R5. In addition to these straps the R5 features the same micrometric aluminum ratcheting buckle. This system allows you to fully tune the fit and volume of the shoes both pre-ride and on-the-fly. The bottom two straps control the snugness of the fit at the metatarsal and instep areas and are best adjusted before you hit the road and left alone thereafter. The ratcheting strap is what dictates the entry and exit adjustments. The loading lever is made from aluminum thats been mated to a stainless steel base. It has a double-click adjustment capability with a full-release mechanism at the base of the lever. Together the three strap system eliminates any internal foot slippage that depreciates your efficiency. To evenly distribute pressure across the top of the foot Fizi:k made the strap dimensions wide. The strap design allows you to easily lengthen or shorten the strap in order to precisely dial-in the volume of the shoe. Under the closure youll find a well-ventilated nylon mesh tongue. This is another subtle difference between the R5 and R3 whereas the R3s tongue is removable for cleaning and volume-control. To further control slippage the R5 Uomo has shaped the heel cup at the aft position of the shoe. This feature keeps the foot in the perfect position on hard up-strokes and while climbing out of the saddle. As a result youre powering the pedals comfortably and efficiently. At the outsole youll see the largest differentiator between the two models. Where the R3 features a multi-layered carbon fiber sole with Tepex and a Mobius rail the R5 makes use of a carbon-reinforced nylon outsole. And while this keeps costs down it doesnt inhibit either comfort or power transfer. In fact the R5 retains a low stack height and a high level of rigidity. But like the with the R3 Fizi:k engineered-in trace flexibility. So the outsole creates a direct power to the pedals while allowing enough movement to guarantee comfort after 80 kilometers. And on the topic of comfort Fizi:k went above and beyond to make the R5 extremely breathable. In fact youve probably already noticed the high level of mesh ventilation along the upper of the shoe. This feature keeps your feet breathing and comfortable on long summer days in the saddle. And for the insole Fizi:k included its own Superlight Insole. And while its not custom moldable like with the R1 it does incorporate a thoughtful design that assures comfort by absorbing road vibration and supporting your arch system. The Fizi:k R5 Uomo Shoes are available in odd and even sizes ranging from 40.0 to 48.0 and in the colors Black Black/metal red and White/silver/grey. Please note that the R5s are only compatible with standard three-hole cleat systems. Item FIZ2747 Learn more
