Designed for Gravel Racing
The Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon is specifically developed for riders who demand maximum performance during fast and demanding off-road racing.
Its combination of an extremely stiff carbon outsole, lightweight upper and secure closure system creates a responsive platform for hard accelerations, steep climbs and sustained high-cadence efforts.
From international gravel races to fast XC courses, the Vento Ferox Carbon is designed to provide the stability, durability and efficiency required for competitive riding.
Full-Carbon X1 Outsole for Maximum Power Transfer
At the heart of the Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon is a redesigned X1 full-carbon outsole engineered to provide an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio.
With a stiffness index of 10, the carbon plate creates an extremely rigid and responsive pedalling platform, helping transfer power efficiently from your feet to the pedals.
This makes the Vento Ferox Carbon particularly suitable for racing situations where every watt matters, from explosive accelerations to long climbs and sustained high-power efforts.
Grip and Off-Bike Traction
Despite its extremely stiff carbon construction, the X1 outsole is designed to provide reliable traction when you need to step off the bike.
Large aggressive lugs and extensive rubber coverage across the entire outsole, including the midfoot area, improve grip on loose and uneven terrain.
This provides additional confidence during technical hike-a-bike sections, steep gravel courses and demanding off-road races where getting off the bike can sometimes be unavoidable.
Lightweight and Breathable Upper
The Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon features a lightweight PU-laminated mesh upper designed to combine ventilation, support and durability.
Translucent mesh sections promote airflow around the foot, helping regulate temperature during demanding races and warm-weather riding.
The PU-laminated construction provides additional support where required while also improving tear resistance, creating a lightweight upper capable of handling demanding off-road conditions.
Hybrid Powerstrap and BOA® Li2 Closure
The Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon uses a distinctive dual closure system combining a Powerstrap with a BOA® Li2 Fit System.
Across the instep, the Powerstrap provides exceptional foot retention during the high-cadence efforts commonly encountered in gravel and off-road racing.
At the forefoot, the premium bi-directional BOA® Li2 Fit System provides micro-adjustable fit control and helps distribute pressure evenly across the foot.
Because the instep and forefoot can be adjusted independently, riders can fine-tune the fit according to their individual foot shape and riding preferences.
Secure Foot Support for High-Cadence Riding
Off-road racing frequently involves rapid changes in cadence, power and terrain. The Vento Ferox Carbon closure system is specifically designed to keep the foot securely supported during these demanding efforts.
The Powerstrap stabilises the instep, while the BOA® Li2 system provides precise forefoot adjustment.
Together, they create a secure connection between foot and shoe, helping maintain efficient power transfer when sprinting, climbing or riding over rough terrain.
Team Amani Limited Edition
This version of the Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon features a distinctive Lime/Purple Team Amani colourway.
The special-edition design celebrates Team Amani and its presence in international gravel racing, with bright colours and striking patterns inspired by the wildlife of Kenya.
This makes the shoe an excellent choice for riders who want race-level Fizik performance combined with a unique and distinctive appearance.
Lightweight Race Performance
At approximately 297 grams, the Fizik Vento Ferox Carbon combines a full-carbon outsole with a lightweight and breathable upper.
The high stiffness-to-weight ratio of the X1 outsole helps provide maximum pedalling efficiency without unnecessary bulk.
Combined with the lightweight upper and precise closure system, the result is a dedicated off-road racing shoe designed for riders who prioritise speed, efficiency and performance.
