S-Works EXOS Road Shoe
Previewed at the Tour Down Under this is a shoe many have been desperate to see in the flesh! Dropped today and sure to be shifting units. Expensive units at £450 a pair. Goodness doesn't come cheap of course
Coming in at a mere 150 grams they claim to be the lightest BOA dial shoe on the market, and who am I to challenge that (I don't own any scales...).
Here's some technical gubbings, which I have copied and pasted because I amn't writing all this out
Body Geometry sole and footbed are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.
Our lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate maximizes power transfer: Stiffness Index 13.0
Layers of Dyneema® fibers comprise the upper. These fibers are oriented to lock the stretch in all four directions, which secures you to the plate.
BOA® IP1 dial for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the BOA® Lifetime Guarantee.
Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position pedal/cleats 5mm rearward.
Non-slip, replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws for security.
Form Fit last with a malleable vamp creates a next-to-foot fit.
Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.
Also launched is the 99gram EXOS 99.....a beauty in its launch colourway of red/grey!
