Experience unmatched comfort, optimal power transmission, and minimal air resistance with this innovative cycling shoe designed for triathletes. The Chronos Aero is engineered to elevate your performance and support your efforts on the road.
Aerodynamics matter most when riding solo and at higher speeds. This shoe uses a single dial-lock fastening system, covered by a smooth lace shield that closes with a zipper. By reducing surface texture and airflow disturbance around the instep, drag is lowered compared to conventional closure systems. Wind-tunnel and on-road testing show small but consistent aerodynamic improvements, with the exact benefit depending on factors such as yaw angle, foot position, speed, and the shoe used for comparison.
Crafted from a single piece, the shoe transitions smoothly from a hard carbon shell to softer upper sections, ensuring comfort and ease of wear. The carbon shell includes drainage holes to prevent water accumulation, while the upper is made from lightweight, sustainable, and anti-bacterial microfiber leather.
Designed for seamless transitions, this shoe allows for power transfer to your pedals immediately, even if not fully fastened. The easily heat-moldable carbon shell wraps snugly around your foot, optimizing each pedal stroke for maximum efficiency, especially during high power transfers and accelerations.
The solid carbon shell-sole provides exceptional support and stabilization for your entire foot, particularly your heel bone. Its unique shell-like shape helps relieve tension in your calves, allowing you to utilize your hips and thighs for pedaling. This strategic design conserves energy for your run, giving you an advantage when it matters most.
FEATURES:
- Personalized Fit: Heat-molding allows you to widen the shoe where needed, lock in the heel, and eliminate specific pressure points for long-distance comfort and stability.
- Reduced Aerodynamic Drag: A smooth, sculpted upper and streamlined closure minimize airflow disturbance, lowering resistance at race speed.
- Higher Pedal Efficiency: Low stack height positions your foot closer to the pedal axle, improving stability, pedal feel, and effective power transfer.
- Faster T1 Execution: The one-piece shell wraps the foot immediately, allowing efficient power delivery even before the shoe is fully fastened.
- Fresher Running Legs: Stable foot support and reduced ankle movement lower calf and lower-leg fatigue, helping you start the run with more energy.
