CHARACTERISTICS:
When the moment comes for an attack on the mountain, a breakaway attempt or a full-throttle sprint to the finish line, every watt counts. That's why we developed the new S-Works Ares, the most efficient and strongest performance road shoe ever made. We have combined our body geometry knowledge with the know-how of our world's best athletes to redefine the race shoe. A completely new, patent-pending closure system, a Dyneema® reinforced shoe sock and an ultra-stiff FACT Powerline™ Carbon outsole prevent foot movement in the shoe and reduce pressure on the tendons. The result is outstanding power transmission and a high level of comfort in the shoe. The S-Works Ares is 1% faster than any shoe we've made before and that's all that matters at the finish line.
- The key to more comfort, fewer injuries and better power transfer are our ergonomically developed and scientifically tested body geometry features - longitudinal arch support, Varus wedge and adapted insoles with a metatarsal button. These three features align your hips, feet and knees while reducing lateral knee movement and maintaining adequate ventilation to your toes.
- Patent-pending closure system protects the foot from extreme movements when walking, blocks metatarsal movement and prevents lateral movements.
- Dyneema® material is sandwiched between a synthetic layer and a layer of TPU to create rock-solid areas that still hug your foot.
- Our stiffest and lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate maximizes power transfer. Stiffness index: 15.
- BOA® Li2 Fit System for adjustment while driving. Backed by the BOA® Guarantee.
- PadLock heel construction encloses the heel and improves acceleration.
- Non-slip, replaceable heel profile with internal screws for greater safety
- Form Fit last with a spacious heel box for ultimate connection to the shoe and increased comfort
- Titanium cleat nuts that generate 5 mm of adjustment when turned. Fits all common 3-hole road pedals.
- Weight: approx. 220 g (per shoe, size 42)
