Fizik Tempo Artica R5 GTX Road Shoes

Made for the demands of foul weather road cycling, the Fizik Tempo Artica R5 GTX Road Shoes use a cosy fleece lining and waterproof GORE-TEX insulated Koala membrane to keep you powering through any conditions.

During the wetter and colder months of the year, the motivation to ride outdoors can wane. And the extremities are often the first to suffer the bite of the winter weather. However, pull on the Tempo Artica R5 GTX Road Shoes and you can be sure of a motivation boost, all thanks to their ability to protect your feet from the most severe cold and wet weather.

GORE-TEX Insulated Koala Membrane

Whether it’s rain, sleet or even snow, the waterproof GORE-TEX insulated Koala membrane prevents moisture from seeping inside your shoes. And while water droplets can’t get inside, the micropores of the membrane do still allow moisture molecules from sweat vapour to escape. The result is warmer and drier feet for longer.

Durable Upper

Winter is a testing time for you and your equipment. And as such, Fizik has ensured the Artica R5s are made to meet those harsher winter conditions. The high-density, PU-laminated upper is extremely durable while still delivering the comfort you’d expect for those longer base-building rides.

Fleece Lined

As soon as you slip the Artica R5s on, you’ll feel the luxurious and cosy comfort of the ultra-soft brushed fleece lining. This hugs your feet in an insulating and breathable layer, fending off the icy tentacles of winter temperatures.

L6 BOA® Closure System

Whether you’ve got your cosy winter gloves on or you’re suffering from cold hands, you don’t want to be messing with laces or straps to get your shoe fit right. And so Fizik has deployed the ever simple and easy to adjust L6 L6 BOA® Closure System. Micro-adjustment allows you to get the fit just right, and you can adjust on the go.

R5 Outsole

Fizik has given the Tempo Artica R5 their R5 outsole. Made from a Nylon composite, it gives the shoe an ideal balance of stiffness, pedalling support and comfort. Press on the pedals and you’ll be propelled forward quickly and efficiently, but there’s enough flex for comfort over long distances too. Leave the expensive carbon soles for summer race days.

The lack of vents is optimised for colder weather and a recessed cleat position makes off-the-bike use more stable – just right for when you’re grabbing a warming coffee at a café stop.

Cleat Guidance
