This latest version of the Infinito R1 features a knit construction that seamlessly integrates ventilation throughout the upper, but still offers all of the advanced features tested in racing with Pro Peloton athletes.
The fizik Knit upper is a step ahead of traditional fabric or microfiber uppers. These tops are made using electronic knitting machines that connect loops of yarn on needles and can seamlessly change the yarn direction of the fabric to create different stitch patterns. This allows distinct functional zones to be designed and created, with an emphasis on improved breathability in key areas such as vents and mesh openings. The additional water-repellent treatment protects against rain and splashes of water. To ensure efficient power transfer to the pedals, targeted areas of heat-fused PU have been incorporated to provide foot support where athletes need it most. This construction ensures that the shoe is well ventilated and extremely light, with the same support and pedaling efficiency as a conventionally manufactured cycling shoe.
The Volume Control System enables differentiated adjustment of the fit in the instep and forefoot areas, the shape and volume of which can vary greatly from rider to rider. By adjusting with two separate Boa closures, cyclists can tailor the shoe to their unique foot shape to ensure customized comfort and support.
The space in the forefoot area can be regulated using Infinito, a function for fine-tuning the fit. Infinito balances the tension and further eliminates pressure points by using textile webbing instead of plastic lace guides. This closure system works across a larger area of the shoe's upper, pulling the eyelet area evenly inward from all directions for a more supportive and comfortable fit. Individual adjustment of the plantar arch is provided by the Dynamic Arch Support, a special piece of the shoe upper that wraps around the plantar arch and is adjusted with its own Boa dial. The highly rigid, unidirectional full carbon outsole R1 is designed for maximum power transfer. Ventilation openings direct airflow through the sole for efficient temperature control.
