Specialized S-Works Ares cipo

One second makes the difference

When the moment comes for a mountain attack, a breakaway attempt or a full-throttle sprint to the finish line, every watt counts. That's why Specialized developed the new S-Works Ares, the most efficient and strongest performance road cycling shoe ever made.

Specialized has combined their Body Geometry knowledge with the know-how of their world's best athletes to redefine the race shoe. A completely new, patent-pending closure system, a Dyneema® reinforced shoe sock and an ultra-stiff FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole prevent

Foot movements in the shoe and reduce the pressure on the tendons. The result is outstanding power transmission and high comfort in the shoe. The S-Works Ares is 1% faster than any shoe Specialized has made to date and that's all that counts at the finish line.

highlights

• The key to more comfort, fewer injuries and better power transmission are Specialized 's ergonomically developed and scientifically tested Body Geometry features - longitudinal arch support, varus wedge and adapted insoles with a metatarsal button. These three features align your hip, foot and knee while reducing lateral knee movement and maintaining adequate ventilation to your toes
• Patent-pending closure system protects the foot from extreme movements when pedaling, blocks metatarsal movement and prevents lateral movement
• Dyneema® material is sandwiched between a synthetic layer and a layer of TPU to create rock-solid areas that still hug your foot
• Specialized stiffest and lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate maximizes power transfer. Stiffness index: 15
• BOA® Li2 Fit System for on-the-fly adjustment
• PadLock heel construction wraps the heel and improves traction
• Non-slip, replaceable heel profile with internally fixed screws for more security
• Form Fit last with a roomy heel box for the ultimate connection to the shoe and increased comfort
• Titanium cleat nuts that generate 5mm adjustment travel by turning. Fits all standard 3-hole road pedals
