Fizik R3B Road Shoes - Black/Green

Fi’zi:k is a racing brand. It represents beauty, speed, passion; freedom for those who race against each other, race against the clock and for enthusiast cyclists around the world who identify with the feeling of ‘the fire of competition.’ Established in 1996 as the premium racing brand for Selle Royal Group drawing on more than 60 years of saddle making experience. The aim since then until this day was to provide comfort and support for riders working with professional athletes to develop industry-leading products. All of Fi’zi:k’s saddles are still handmade in Italy.

The brand name comes from the phonetic spelling of the word ‘physique’ and the range focuses on the key contact points between the rider and the bike.

“Life is a road and the road is my life”.

Fi’zi:k is a specialist in products that govern the interface between man and machine: saddles, bar tape and shoes that work in harmony with you as you ride. In 1996 fi’zi:k set out on a journey to improve rider performance by producing saddles for superior ride comfort. In 2015, this same purpose drives fi’iz:k to produce shoes fit for high performance.

After dedicated Italian craftsmen have breathed life into eclectic raw materials, the resulting shoe extols all the virtues associated with a superb fit: maximising power transfer, while boasting a sharp aesthetic to boot!

The R3B is for the racer. This shoe provides all you need to stay ahead of the peloton: excellent comfort, low weight and the sharp aesthetic that’s sure to attract envious glances! The BOA closure system is new for 2015. Why use BOA?
