2024 Fizik Gravita Tensor Team Edition Shoes

Streamlined performance Downhill mountain bike shoe designed together with leading gravity athletes in a new black and white colorway.

A lightweight, resilient gravity MTB shoe featuring a bold, contrasting design to represent opposing forces in motion.

LIGHTWEIGHT, RESILIENT, RACE READY

To develop a race-ready gravity MTB shoe, we sought feedback from top athletes, and their needs were clear: downhill and enduro racers alike desire a protective and durable shoe—one with a precise fit to enhance bike control through the pedals. So we went to the drawing board to create a unicorn: A lightweight, yet rugged, racing shoe that checks all the boxes desired by competition-leading MTB riders.

OUTSOLE AND RIDING CONTROL

Starting from the ground up, the Gravita outsole combines Vibram XS Trek Evo rubber compound with a specific zonal lug pattern for improved traction on or off the pedals. This clip-in version is stiffer than its flat counterpart for better power transfer; an extended cleat track enables you to run cleats further back to allow for dropped heels on descents, improving stability and control.

PRECISION FIT, RELIABLE SUPPORT

Providing proper foot tension and fit is essential to effectively transfer every useful watt of power generated. For Tensor, we developed an ergonomic lace-up pattern that cradles the foot and spreads tension evenly throughout the pedal stroke while a Powerstrap over the instep secures the fit, stabilizing the plantar arch, locking the heel in place, and keeping laces in check.

DURABLE AND PROTECTIVE

To avoid the bulky fit of typical gravity shoes, Tensor features a slim silhouette, saving weight through smart design and innovative materials without sacrificing protection. In addition to durable rip-stop uppers, Tensor is equipped with the essential defense of an injection-molded TPU armored toe-box—the raised inner-ankle profile and laminated scuff guard protect along high-wear areas.
