Danish cycling kit specialist, Pas Normal Studios, and Italian cycling shoe & saddle brand, fizik, have unveiled their latest collaboration – Mechanism PNS x fizik – a new road cycling shoe born exclusively from the partnership.
Priced at €450 / £390 / US$490, and designed to perform at the highest level and integrate the sleek style of the Danish apparel brand, the all-new Mechanism road shoe has a range of features. Sleek uppers utilize a resilient polyurethane-laminated material combined with a comfortable mesh, which results in reduced yield and provides long-lasting foot support.
The BOA Fit System, featuring the metallic Dual-Dial Li2, allows bi-directional and differentiated fit adjustments for the instep and forefoot areas, delivering a precise, locked-in feel.
At the base, fizik’s R2 outsole features an engineered carbon fibre layup that saves weight and delivers increased stiffness, with a stiffness index rating of 10, making this outsole the most responsive in the fizik range.
A wide vent inlet and deep internal channelling provide cooling airflow, aiding temperature regulation while riding. The cleat positioning is set slightly further back compared to traditional settings to optimize pedalling efficiency and reduce knee compression – especially well-suited for aggressive, forward aero positions adopted by racing cyclists.
