Fizik Tempo Beat: Versatile use

The Tempo Beat is a newly developed road shoe from Fizik, made for riders who want to explore different terrains. With a revised shape and a streamlined outsole that conceals a cleat guide with two screws, the shoe is versatile - both on the road with a road bike and on gravel-like terrain with a gravel bike.

Soft material and more space for better comfort

A new shape was developed for this shoe, which offers more space in the toe box and should therefore ensure greater comfort when riding. According to Fizik, this applies to long days on the bike as well as lighter outings with friends on the road.

A simple lace-up fastening system combined with a soft fabric upper wraps the foot and ensures a secure and pressure-free fit. The upper is breathable.
