Extreme Pro 3 Cycling Shoe - Men's

ARS is a technology that creates a supportive structure around your foot, adapting to its unique shape. This customized fit maximizes power transfer when pedaling, meaning more of your leg energy goes directly into propelling your bike forward. This can enhance your overall cycling efficiency and performance.

The Powershape Carbon 15 sole is designed for high performance with a stiffness index of 15, indicating a rigid structure. This rigidity allows for better energy transfer from your foot to the pedals, which is crucial for efficient cycling. A stiffer sole means less energy is wasted, helping you ride faster and longer.

The X-DIAL SLW3 dials are an innovative closure system that allows you to easily adjust the tightness of your shoes with a simple twist. They can release tension in small increments, which helps eliminate pressure points and provides a more comfortable fit. This means you can fine-tune the fit for optimal comfort during long rides.

A dual-zone closure system features two separate areas for adjustment, allowing you to customize the fit of your shoes in different parts. This means you can tighten or loosen specific areas independently, ensuring maximum comfort and support where you need it most, which can enhance your overall riding experience.

Cleat compatibility indicates that the shoes are designed to work with specific types of cleats, which attach to your bike pedals. The mention of "3-bolt, NW Speedplay/Wahoo adaptor" means these shoes can accommodate these cleat systems, ensuring a secure connection between your shoes and pedals. This is essential for efficient cycling, as it allows for better power transfer and control while riding.

The combination of ARS for support, a stiff Powershape Carbon 15 sole for energy transfer, X-DIAL SLW3 dials for comfort, a dual-zone closure for customization, and cleat compatibility for secure attachment all work together to enhance your cycling performance. These features ensure that you have a comfortable, efficient, and powerful ride, making your cycling experience more enjoyable and effective.
