Fizik Vega Carbon Clipess Cycling Road Shoes

Vega Carbon is a lightweight, powerful, and innovative new racing shoe designed for and chosen by the most demanding riders and pro-peloton racers, featuring an ergonomic design, low stack height, and strategic material mapping.

INNOVATIVE, REACTIVE—VEGA

Vega Carbon is our latest top-level road racing shoe engineered from the sole up to prioritize performance for peloton-leading riders and pro-racers. Featuring a highly stiff integrated carbon outsole, innovative, ultra-breathable upper construction, a revised shape, and more ergonomic fit, Vega meets every requirement in terms of lightness, high performance, and efficient power transfer and is engineered to specifically complement modern race-bike geometries, rider positions, and riding styles.

A NATURAL, NEW SHAPE

Over the past few years, bike geometry and body position have changed a lot. For this reason, the contact points between riders and their bikes have had to evolve accordingly. With Vega, we’re introducing an entirely new shape—one with a straighter axis and reduced drop to deliver a more natural feeling while pedaling. Vega’s expanded toe box provides more room and allows the foot to fully stretch, delivering an ergonomic fit and improving comfort on high-intensity rides, whether that means stage races or weekly training.

OUTSOLE ON THE INSIDE

Vega is equipped with an integrated full-carbon outsole that delivers increased stiffness while decreasing the stack height. Using this advanced construction technique, the outsole is actually on the inside of the shoe and concealed by the shoe’s upper, allowing us to reduce the stack height in the cleat area and providing full ergonomic medial foot support. The anatomical shape and reduced drop prioritize foot stability and support, resulting in more efficient power transfer.

FIT, FABRICS, AND FEATURES

The Vega’s upper features strategic material mapping, using different materials in different areas depending on the specific required characteristic—breathable where more ventilation is needed, supportive where comfort is top priority. For breathability and weight savings, we’ve coupled Aeroweave woven fabric with a thin translucent mesh to create an even lighter shoe that doesn’t lose its original tenacity. Next, a foot-wrapping bootie made of perforated Airprene material ensures greater comfort and a pressure-free fit, from race days to big rides in the mountains.

ADJUST TO COMFORT

The instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable for a customized fit with a Dual-Dial Li2 BOA® Fit System. Two separate BOA® dials connected to panels wrap around the medial part of the foot, meaning cyclists can fine-tune shoe fit to their unique foot shape, ensuring lasting support.
