Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon Gravel & XC Cycling Shoes
The Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon is a premium off-road racing shoe designed for fast gravel racing and competitive cross-country mountain biking. Combining an ultra-stiff full-carbon outsole, lightweight PU-laminated mesh upper and a precise hybrid Powerstrap and BOA® Li2 closure system, the Ferox 2 Carbon is built for maximum speed, efficiency and control on demanding terrain.
With its updated anatomical shape, spacious toe box and foot-wrapping construction, the Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon combines race-level power transfer with the support and comfort required for high-intensity off-road riding.
Designed for Gravel and XC Racing
The Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon is specifically developed for performance-oriented cyclists who demand maximum efficiency during fast gravel and XC-MTB racing.
Its lightweight construction, extremely stiff carbon outsole and secure foot retention provide the responsive feel required for hard accelerations, steep climbs and high-cadence efforts.
Whether you are racing across fast gravel roads or tackling technical cross-country courses, the Ferox 2 Carbon is designed to deliver uncompromising off-road performance.
Full-Carbon Outsole for Maximum Power Transfer
At the heart of the Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon is a redesigned full-carbon outsole developed to maximise foot stability and efficient power transfer.
With a stiffness index of 10, the outsole provides an extremely rigid and responsive pedalling platform, helping transfer power directly from your feet to the pedals.
The carbon plate is wider and lower to increase the contact area with the pedal, creating a stable and efficient platform for competitive off-road riding.
Updated Anatomical Fit with More Toe Space
The Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon features an updated anatomical shape designed around modern cycling positions and riding styles.
A straighter shoe axis and reduced heel-to-toe drop promote a more natural foot position, while the larger and more spacious toe box allows the forefoot and toes to spread more naturally inside the shoe.
This ergonomic design provides the secure support expected from a performance racing shoe while improving comfort during demanding XC races and fast gravel events.
Lightweight and Breathable Upper
The Ferox 2 Carbon features a translucent and tear-resistant PU-laminated mesh upper designed to combine low weight, ventilation and durability.
Lightweight mesh is strategically positioned to improve airflow and reduce unnecessary weight, while additional PU layers reinforce areas that are more exposed to abrasion and impact.
The innovative construction also helps repel water, reducing unnecessary moisture absorption when racing in wet or muddy conditions.
Comfortable Airprene Bootie Construction
Inside the Ferox 2 Carbon, a foot-wrapping perforated Airprene bootie provides additional comfort and support.
The bootie construction comfortably surrounds the foot while helping to minimise pressure points, creating a secure performance fit without unnecessary compression.
Its perforated structure also improves ventilation, making the Ferox 2 Carbon suitable for intensive off-road riding and racing.
Hybrid Powerstrap and BOA® Li2 Closure
The Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon uses a distinctive hybrid closure system combining a Powerstrap with a BOA® Li2 Fit System.
Across the instep, the Powerstrap provides secure foot retention during the high-cadence efforts commonly encountered in off-road racing. Its simple and robust construction also provides reliable performance in demanding race conditions.
At the forefoot, the premium BOA® Li2 Fit System allows precise adjustment to match the individual shape of your foot.
Together, these two systems provide excellent foot stability and precise fit adjustment during hard accelerations, technical sections and sustained race efforts.
Grip and Off-Bike Traction
Despite its race-focused full-carbon construction, the Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon is also designed to provide reliable traction when you need to step off the bike.
The outsole features aggressive lugs and extensive rubber coverage, including underneath the midfoot area, to improve grip on loose and uneven terrain.
This provides additional confidence during steep hike-a-bike sections, technical gravel courses and challenging XC terrain.
Lightweight Race Performance
At approximately 295 grams, the Fizik Ferox 2 Carbon combines an extremely stiff carbon platform with a lightweight and breathable construction.
Every element of the shoe is designed around performance, from the low and wide carbon outsole to the lightweight mesh upper and precise closure system.
The result is a highly responsive off-road cycling shoe developed for riders who want maximum efficiency without unnecessary weight.
