Fizik Ergolace 2 Gravel & Trail Cycling Shoes
The Fizik Ergolace 2 is a versatile off-road cycling shoe designed for gravel riding, trail adventures and bikepacking. Combining a lightweight ripstop upper, comfortable foot-wrapping construction and a grippy Vibram Megagrip outsole, the Ergolace 2 is built for cyclists who want to explore far beyond smooth tarmac.
With its updated, roomier fit and walkable X2 outsole, the Fizik Ergolace 2 provides the comfort, durability and traction needed for everything from everyday gravel rides to long-distance bikepacking adventures.
Roomier and More Comfortable Fit
The Fizik Ergolace 2 features an updated shape designed to provide more space and long-lasting comfort during off-road adventures.
Compared with its predecessor, the shoe is wider through the midfoot area, allowing the toes more freedom and creating a roomier overall fit. This makes the Ergolace 2 particularly comfortable during long days on the bike or sections where you need to walk or push your bike.
The more accommodating shape makes it an excellent option for riders who prioritise comfort without sacrificing secure foot support.
Lightweight and Durable Ripstop Upper
The Fizik Ergolace 2 features a lightweight and breathable ripstop fabric upper designed to reduce unnecessary material while improving durability and drying speed.
Wide PU-laminated areas provide additional protection and reinforcement, while the toe area is strengthened to help protect your feet against rocks, roots and other trail obstacles.
The result is a lightweight yet durable construction designed to withstand the demands of gravel riding, mountain bike trails and multi-day adventures.
Comfortable Airprene Bootie Construction
Instead of a traditional tongue, the Ergolace 2 uses a foot-wrapping perforated Airprene bootie construction.
By reducing the number of material layers around the foot, this design helps create a comfortable and pressure-free fit.
The perforated Airprene material also allows moisture and water vapour to escape, improving breathability and helping the shoes dry more quickly after wet rides.
Secure Speedlace Closure
The Fizik Ergolace 2 uses an ergonomic and asymmetrical speedlace closure system designed to securely hold the foot in place during demanding off-road riding.
The asymmetrical design helps keep the closure away from the drivetrain, while the speedlace system allows quick and simple adjustment.
It can easily be locked or released, providing a practical combination of secure foot retention and convenient adjustability.
X2 Outsole with Vibram Megagrip
The Ergolace 2 features Fizik’s redesigned X2 outsole with Vibram Megagrip rubber, developed to provide grip both on the pedals and when walking.
The midfoot area uses lower, regularly shaped lugs designed to improve the shoe-to-pedal interface, while the heel and toe areas feature a more aggressive tread pattern for increased traction on loose and uneven terrain.
This zonal tread design provides the grip needed for technical hike-a-bike sections, steep trails and challenging gravel adventures.
Efficient Power Transfer and Walkability
The clipless version of the Fizik Ergolace 2 features an Ergolace-specific nylon shank designed to balance pedalling efficiency with comfortable walkability.
The construction provides additional stiffness compared with the flat-pedal version, improving power transfer throughout the pedal stroke without making the shoe unnecessarily difficult to walk in.
The recessed two-bolt cleat design makes the Ergolace 2 compatible with common SPD-style mountain bike and gravel pedal systems.
Designed for Gravel, Trail and Bikepacking
The Fizik Ergolace 2 is designed for cyclists who value adventure and versatility rather than focusing on a single cycling discipline.
Its combination of comfort, durability, grip and walkability makes it suitable for everything from fast gravel rides and technical trails to long-distance bikepacking trips.
The shoe is also an excellent option for e-MTB adventures where a comfortable and durable shoe with reliable off-bike traction is essential.
