Fizik R4 Tempo Overcurve Road Cycling Shoes : Black / Black

Brand:Fizik

Code:6674BLK

After the re-invention and subsequent huge success of their R5B and R3 Aria shoes, Fizik introduced the R4B to complement their range and plug the price gap between the two.

The latest iteration of the R4 is the Tempo Overcurve, a revision that utilises an asymmetrical Overcurve design suitable for a wide range of riders.

Why asymmetrical? Well, since the ankle bones aren’t symmetrical, Fizik’s Overcurve design isn't either. It is designed to mimic the shape of the foot, with the throat of the shoe curving from the outside to the inner side of the foot for a natural fit. The R4 uses a single BOA IP1 dial for easy fit and adjustment over almost the entire length of the shoes for excellent control over volume.

Even more important in the new R4 Tempo Overcurve, is the changes that Fizik have made to the cleat fixing position on the sole. While there is no questioning the comfort of a Fizik shoe, their fit has always been a little 'traditional' when it came to cleat mounting. This has now changed and Fizik's new sole has a cleat position that is further back on the sole in line with modern bike fitting and the bulk of the rest of the industry - this optimises pedalling efficiency and reduces knee compression.

Fizik have had a good reputation among the pros in the past thanks to their relative long life-span and Fizik were keen not to squander that. Ultimately it means that riders like me, who have long lusted after a pair of Fizik's, no longer have to compromise their foot position in order to wear them!

The new Fizik R4 Tempo Overcurve road shoe draws on the company's years of development with the pros on the flagship R1 Infinito.

The R4 Tempo Overcurve uses a mid-high stiffness carbon injected Nylon outsole (Fizik rate this as a 7 - but we have no idea of the scale and only assume that it's out of 10!) that make the shoes ideal for a multitude of applications, from long training rides to sportives and the occasional race. Stiffer than the Nylon of the R5 but a touch heavier than the uni-directionalcarbon of the R3B, the R4 sole offers a great balance of stiffness, comfort and weight for the improving / endurance rider.

The upper is constructed from laser perforated Microtex much the same as the R3. In addition to lending a fresh look to the shoes, the outer is remarkably durable, relatively easy to keep clean and helps keep the weight of the shoe to a minimum whilst improving ventilation.

We have long been fans of Fizik shoes having stocked them from their debut back in 2011. Despite a single wayward season, they have proved to be one of our most popular shoe brands, offering riders of all disciplines a superb balance of comfort andperformance. The R4 has already become another hit from the Italian wizards and the improvements to the shape of the upper and cleat mount point of the sole are sure to deliver many comfortable miles for those that choose to ride in them

Handmade in Italy and finished with subtle detailing, the Fizik R4 Tempo Overcurve is a beautiful shoe to look at and raises the bar at the price point in terms ofaesthetic, comfort and performance.
