INNOVATIVE, REACTIVE—VEGA
Vega Carbon is our latest top-level road racing shoe
engineered from the sole up to prioritize performance for
peloton-leading riders and pro-racers. Featuring a highly
stiff integrated carbon outsole, innovative, ultrabreathable
upper construction, a revised shape, and more
ergonomic fit, Vega meets every requirement in terms of
lightness, high performance, and efficient power transfer
and is engineered to specifically complement modern
race-bike geometries, rider positions, and riding styles.
A NATURAL, NEW SHAPE
Over the past few years, bike geometry and body position
have changed a lot. For this reason, the contact points
between riders and their bikes have had to evolve
accordingly. With Vega, we’re introducing an entirely new
shape—one with a straighter axis and reduced drop to
deliver a more natural feeling while pedaling. Vega’s
expanded toe box provides more room and allows the foot
to fully stretch, delivering an ergonomic fit and improving
comfort on high-intensity rides, whether that means
stages races or weekly training.
OUTSOLE ON THE INSIDE
Vega is equipped with an integrated full-carbon outsole
that delivers increased stiffness while decreasing the stack
height. Using this advanced construction technique, the
outsole is actually on the inside of the shoe and concealed
by the shoe’s upper, allowing us to reduce the stack height
in the cleat area and providing full ergonomic medial foot
support. The anatomical shape and reduced drop prioritize
foot stability and support, resulting in more efficient power
transfer.
FIT, FABRICS, AND FEATURES
The Vega’s upper features strategic material mapping,
using different materials in different areas depending on
the specific required characteristic—breathable where
more ventilation is needed, supportive where comfort is
top priority. For breathability and weight savings, we’ve
coupled Aeroweave woven fabric with a thin translucent
mesh to create an even lighter shoe that doesn’t lose its
original tenacity. Next, a foot-wrapping bootie made of
perforated Airprene material ensures greater comfort and
a pressure-free fit, from race days to big rides in the
mountains.
ADJUST TO PERFORMANCE
The instep and the midfoot are separately adjustable for a
customized fit with a Dual-Dial Li2 BOA® Fit System. Two
separate BOA® dials connected to panels wrap around the
medial part of the foot, meaning cyclists can fine-tune shoe fit to their unique shoe shape, ensuring lasting support.
