FIZIK Terra Artica X5 GTX MTB ShoesConquer the cold, wet, and mud with the FIZIK Terra Artica X5 GTX, the ultimate all-terrain, all-weather off-road cycling shoe. Expertly engineered for warmth, comfort, and rugged performance, this shoe ensures that your riding season never has to end. Designed as a versatile solution for both Men and Women who are passionate about MTB Cycling, the Terra Artica X5 GTX is your impenetrable fortress against the harshest elements, allowing you to push your limits on gravel, trail, and all-mountain adventures.The core benefit of the Artica X5 GTX lies in its complete climate protection. It features an advanced GORE-TEX Insulated Koala membrane, a technology that is both fully waterproof and highly breathable. This innovative barrier blocks wind and rain from the outside while allowing moisture vapor to escape from within, ensuring your feet remain dry and comfortable, never clammy. Paired with a cozy, fleece-lined interior, this shoe provides exceptional insulation to keep your feet warm on the coldest winter rides without sacrificing performance.Achieving the perfect fit is effortless, even with gloves on. The shoe utilizes a dual-closure system designed for maximum security and adaptability. A single L6 BOA® dial, situated on the outside of the shoe to avoid interference, offers precise, incremental adjustments for a snug and even fit across the instep. This is complemented by a robust Velcro strap at the ankle, which not only secures the high-top cuff but also acts as a protective gaiter, sealing out snow, slush, and trail debris.Performance on and off the bike is paramount. The Terra Artica X5 GTX is built upon the X5 nylon outsole, which strikes an ideal balance between efficient power transfer and forgiving comfort for long-distance rides. With a stiffness index of 5, it provides a solid platform for pedaling while allowing enough flex for comfortable walking. The sole is fully covered in aggressive rubber treads, delivering outstanding grip and traction when you need to dismount and navigate slippery roots, rocks, or muddy inclines. The resilient, ripstop-reinforced upper is built to withstand the abuse of trail riding, offering durable protection against impacts and abrasions, ensuring your investment lasts for many seasons of hardcore riding.Technical Specifications:* Intended Use: MTB Cycling, All-Mountain, Trail, Gravel* Gender: Men, Women (Unisex Fit)* Waterproof Membrane: GORE-TEX Insulated Koala* Closure System: Single L6 BOA® Dial & Ankle Velcro Strap* Outsole: X5 Nylon with Full Rubber Tread* Stiffness Index: 5* Upper: High-Density PU + Ripstop Fabric* Insole: Fizik Cycling Insole with Fleece Lining* Weight: 432 g (size 42 - 1/2 pair)* Cuff: High-Top with Fleece Lining for Insulation and Protection
