Fizik Terra X5 - The shoe for every terrain
Strong, light, comfortable and versatile - These are the characteristics that the new Fizik Terra X5 wanted to combine, in order to give mountain bikers in particular the confidence to concentrate on the ride and not think about their shoes. The Terra X5 shoe offers a good fit, as well as performance and protection for every off-road driver. The area of application can range from single track to gravel, from forest to dirt and beyond.

Fizik Artica X5 - The ultimate off-road winter shoe
The Artica X5 is exactly the right companion in the winter months for everyone who is not afraid of the cold and snow.

The new Fizik Artica X5 features an adaptable, lightweight fit. Seamless bonding technology on the shoe's exterior provides low-profile impact protection for the toughest rides. The fully enclosed waterproof outer layer utilizes a surface that makes it super easy to clean as any dirt can be washed off instantly. The internal Speed Lacing System makes it quick and easy to tie the shoe in place, while the outer layer's waterproof zipper keeps moisture and water out.
Fizik Luna X5 - The off-road saddle for women
With a growing demand from professional athletes and female customers worldwide, coupled with our mission to produce high-performance, anatomically specific saddles for every rider, the Fizik Luna X5 brings a first women's-specific off-road saddle model. Designed with a three-piece structure that conforms to the specific contours of the female body for maximum saddle comfort, the LunaX5 aims to provide maximum comfort even on long rides. The Fizik Luna X5 saddles are available in two sizes: Regular and Large. The large size is wider at 153mm compared to the regular at 141mm.
To provide flexible support under the sit bones and comfortable freedom for the rider's soft tissues, a unique three-piece shell construction called IschialFlex was developed. The central section is a carbon reinforced co-injected nylon shell with lateral strength and good stiffness. This shell is connected to a pair of flexible thermoplastic elastomer plates that allow flexibility and movement while pedaling, adapting the saddle to the rider's body shape. An ICS interface in the saddle base allows for quick installation and removal of integrated clip system accessories such as the Fizik Kli:k saddlebag and the Lumo and Turn Signal Lights. A clean, simple, quick and secure attachment is possible that requires no tools.
