I like them, I'd have a pair if I was in the market for a pair of flat shoes but I think £120 is a bit steep.

Even more ridiculous than e-bike specific chain lube. And yes, there is such a thing.

But with the power of an ebike you'll not notice.

@CaptainFlashheart change the colour of that icon of yours and I might...

OK so I read the article and I couldn't see a single thing that made them "e bike". I don't mean I'm not convinced by the idea, I mean, they didn't even seem to try?

“Thanks to advancements in bike performance and battery life, as remote areas become more accessible and e-mountain bikers head farther off the grid than ever before, having a shoe that can match this same adventurous energy, matters.“

Good to see that Fizik are making enough cash to hire the sort of copy writers that can still splash out on a full lunch hour’s worth of coke to snort off the office ping pong table before getting down to work.

The wayward final comma is just the icing on the dribbly turd.

Luckily it’s hidden away on the “Charged” subsite where it belongs.

Remember when there were even 29er specific rear hubs? I was there, 3000 years ago

I think some people didn't even read the article, so, as per my posted comment under it

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

“Head farther off the grid…….. " [sneaking off to check the dictionary for further\farther]

"………off the bike you get a Vibram sole with plenty of tread to help you stay upright when pushing the added weight of an eMTB."

Makes perfect sense to me, specifically designed for when you "head farther off the grid", your battery goes flat, you’re 50km from the nearest charge point with 23kgs+ of eMTB to push 🙂
