At home on slushy tracks and snow-covered trails, fizik‘s new Nanuq GTX shoe offering is positioned as a robust, all-mountain shoe designed for off-road winter riding in any weather.
Fully insulated, waterproof and breathable, the shoe is built to protect riders from severe weather, whether, such as on snow-covered technical trails, or icy gravel rides.
With an insulated fleece liner and insole, riders’ feet stay warm and dry when the temperature drops. A resilient upper exterior offers protection from the elements with a layered, hardwearing ripstop woven fabric that resists abrasion and tearing.
For added durability, the Nanuq GTX’s toecap, heel and side areas have been fully reinforced with thermo-laminated PU. A BOA Fit System provides a quick and accurate, micro-adjustable fit, while the zippered ankle cuff helps to keep the worst of the weather at bay.
With an RRP of £289.99 / US$299.99 / €279, the shoe is available in clip-in and flat-pedal versions. Both feature an X2 outsole that is engineered to deliver a balance between efficient pedalling performance and comfort off the bike.
The compressed EVA midsole provides stability and cushioning while the Vibram XS Trek EVO rubber tread ensures grip and traction.
The directional lug pattern is designed for confident footing on clipless pedals; with spacing and depth to bite into softer soil, it’s made from a unique rubber compound that helps with gripping slick rocks whilst hiking.
The flat-pedal version features a low-profile, tapered tread pattern on the midsole that allows for an immediate, optimal connection with pedal pins. The clip-in version meanwhile, features an extended cleat track which provides more setback and greater flexibility of cleat placement.
