Ferox is a shoe designed specifically for off-road racing, combining a performance ready carbon outsole with a breathable and lightweight, yet durable and resistant, upper construction.

Key information:

PU LAMINATED MESH UPPER: light and breathable in a tear-proof construction.
POWERSTRAP & BOA FIT SYSTEM: dual closure system where the instep and the mid foot are separately adjustable for a customized and secure fit.
X1 CARBON & RUBBER OUTSOLE: Full carbon sole, high stiffness and lightness tuned for power transfer and excellent traction when on foot.

In-depth information:
Whether it’s a technical XC trail, a speedy cyclocross race, or an all-day gravel event, the Vento Ferox Carbon is at ease when high performance, foot stability and long-lasting comfort are needed most.

With a dual closure system, the instep and forefoot are separately adjustable for a customized and secure fit.
At the instep, Powerstrap provides an exceptional foot containment at high cadence, particularly common when pedaling off-road, while, at the same time, providing a crash-proof system that will take you safely to every finish line.
A premium bi-directional Li2 BOA fit system is located at the forefoot, delivering long-lasting, pressure-free comfort.
The perfect fit is complemented with a redesigned X1 outsole. With a high stiffness to weight ratio, the carbon plate efficiently transfers the power generated from the shoe to the bike.
The outsole is now equipped with generous studs and a rubber coating the covers the entire surface, including the midfoot, delivering improved traction for those off-the-bike moments.
Ferox’s weight is also kept low thanks to an innovative upper construction, a polyurethane-laminated material combined over a translucent and comfortable mesh.
This not only saves weight, but at same time is breathable and yet, tear resistant.
