Description The Clean Fi'zi:k Aesthetic, Lighter Than Ever
The Overcurve R4's classic aesthetic belies an advanced construction technique: a resilient polyurethane laminated material is combined over a comfortable mesh, reducing energy loss and providing long-lasting foot support where it's most needed.
Overcurve
Shoe closure is fast, reliable, and secure, powered by a micro-adjustable BOA® IP1 dial in an Overcurve pattern.
The Overcurve shoe construction features a staggered collar that wraps around the ankle, tracing the natural alignment of the ankle's two bony protrusions: the lateral and medial malleoli. The result is an asymmetrical shape, with the throat of the shoe curving over the foot from its outside to its inner side.
R4 Outsole
The moderately stiff R4 outsole strikes a balance between comfort and pedaling efficiency to make it a true all-rounder, featuring a lower profile structurally optimized with a 15% infused carbon fiber composition.
The R4 outsole further provides efficient ventilation with internal channeling for effective temperature regulation. The cleat is positioned slightly further towards the heel compared to traditional placement to optimize pedaling efficiency and reduce knee compression, especially suited to aggressively forward aero riding positions.
Features
Outsole: R4 outsole – carbon injected nylon, stiffness index 7
Overcurve: asymmetrical construction that ergonomically conforms to the foot's anatomy
PU laminated mesh upper: enhanced ventilation with support where needed
Weight: 230g (size 42 - 1/2 pair)

Could not get black, white, you have to be careful
Had tubeless tire puncture on the side wall. Had to walk 2.8 miles in them. Amazingly it was not as bad as I thought it would be. Sure did have to clean them after that. This is my first shoes with this type of closure. They are very nice.

These are my second pair of Fizik shoes and they are worth the money. Fits well, great material, very stylish...
The only this is that if you ride more than 80 miles, it starts to be little uncomfortable on the bottom of the sole.

Not sure why anyone would need more shoe than the simple high performance R4.

I have been converted to Fizik. 100% road use with Speedplay pedals. Cleat mount and positioning was simple. Soles are plenty stiff and closure system snugs around entire foot nicely.

My first official road shoe and I love the stiffness. I feel the added watts.
