A solid, lightweight, form-fitting gravity mountain bike shoe that is ready to race.
Race-ready
When setting out to develop a race-ready gravity MTB shoe, the feedback we received from top professional athletes was pretty clear: both downhill and enduro racers alike desire a protective and durable shoe to enhance bike control through the pedals.
But beyond control, they also wanted the lightweight performance
and precise fit found in a more performance- oriented pair, a combination lacking in most shoes for gravity mountain biking. So we went to the drawing board to create a unicorn: A lightweight and nimble, yet rugged, racing shoe that checks all the boxes desired by competition-leading downhill and enduro MTB riders.
Outsole and riding control
Let’s start with the outsole. Together with your hands on the handlebar, feet are a crucial point of contact when it comes to bike control. The Gravita outsole provides the type of shoe-to-pedal interface you need for fast and aggressive gravity riding, combining the stickiest Vibram XS Trek Evo rubber compound with a specific zonal lug pattern. A low-profile tapered tread pattern positioned at the mid-foot allows for an immediate connection and optimal mechanical interface with the pedal pins, while under the heel and toes, a deeper, sharper tread provides better ground traction when hiking back up the hill.
This flat pedals version is more supple and able to flex over the pedal for maximum grip, designed with minimal foot roll and a widened bottom to provide plenty of contact with wide platform pedals and allow for a more evenly spread load.
Performance-oriented precision fit
Both downhill and enduro racing stand out for their short, intense and powerful pedal strokes, whether sprinting out of the start gate or approaching the finish line. Providing proper foot tension and fit is essential to effectively transfer every useful watt of power generated. To avoid wasting watts, we leveraged our decades of design experience and knowledge in creating properly fitting cycling shoes. For the Tensor, we developed an ergonomic lace-up pattern that cradles the foot and spreads tension evenly throughout the pedal stroke. A Powerstrap over the instep secures the fit, stabilizing the plantar arch and locking the heel in place while also keeping laces in check.
Durable and protective
Intentional engineering went into stripping weight and eliminating the excess material that would otherwise lead to the bulky look and sloppy fit of typical gravity shoes. To avoid this, the Tensor features a slim silhouette and minimal weight provided through the use of innovative rip-stop outer fabrics and an inner lining that is far less absorbent than traditional alternatives.
In addition to these durable and hard-wearing fabrics, our gravity racing shoe is equipped with the essential protection demanded by fast and rowdy riding: an injection-moulded TPU armoured toe-box wards off rocks and debris while the raised inner-ankle profile and a robust laminated scuff guard protect along high-wear areas.
Gravita: gravity series, designed to take you down the mountain, fast and in control
Intended use: Downhill, Enduro

scarpa che cambia molto la percezione della bici e quindi esperienza di guida. Ho avuto bisogno di qualche discesa per abituarmi, perché calza abbastanza stretta (io ho pianta del piede larga), ma mai troppo, quindi risulta molto precisa e confortevole anche dopo una lunga giornata in bike park

First of all, shoes look a bit different from others that I have owned in the past. The front part looks like climbing shoes. However I like how they look and are different. The sole has a very good grip and they are higher on the inside of the ankle. The material closes the top of the shoes, bye the ankles so there are no small stones that can enter into the shoe. I like that a lot since I dont like riding with a sand or stones inside my shoes :) Overall great priduct that looks good.

Scarpe belle, ben fatte ma con una suola che no può essere utilizzata per le discipline gravity. Troppo rigida, pochissimo grip, il piede scappa spesso e volentieri sui tratti più difficili come rockgarden. Ne ho subito le conseguenze. Chiesto spiegazioni a Fizik se fosse un problema del mio paio o generale ma da loro nessuna risposta.

I have narrow feet and these are quite narrow fitting generally (of the three different sizes I tried). I could have gone up an additional size for a wider fit but then I would have had too much toe space. Also, the sizing guide on the website isn't clear - are you supposed to match your exact foot measurements with the appropriate size or are the size guide measurements the actual length and width of the shoe (and you should add to those measurements to arrive at your actual size)?

I believe these are the best true flat shoe available, but they would be better with a BOA tightener!

Love these shoes, very good quality material. My feet feel much more planted on the pedals wearing these and the Velcro over the laces ensures they don't get in the way. Would highly recommend

Scarpa davvero ben realizzata , ottimi i materiali, ho avuto modo di testarla in un percorso enduro e devo dire che mi hanno salvato in una situazione in cui ho sbattuto la punta del piede contro una roccia. Hanno un ottima protezione nonostante il peso contenuto e un buon comfort complessivo. La consiglio anche come tenuta sui pedali, la suola megagrip fa egregiamente il suo lavoro.
