Bont Zero Road Cycling Shoes
The Bont "Zero" model cycling shoe combines all our technical knowledge into one state of the art racing shoe designed specifically for the art of climbing, but to be just as much at home on flat roads.
The Bont Zero is handmade and has a 100% carbon monocoque chassis with laminated silver fibreglass upper. Our carbon lay up techniques have been further refined through testing to reduce the effective weight of the shoe without compromising its structural integrity and performance. As with all of Bont's elite level shoes, the Zero has a unidirectional carbon construction (with exception of final cosmetic layer), 3.6 mm stack height, industry leading strength to weight ratio and Bont's proprietary resin allowing customisation of fit.
As with all of our models, the Zero has been built with functionality and performance as the primary focus. Our technology allows for far lower weights to be achieved, but our focus was to design and develop a shoe with full structural integrity and without any loss in performance through flex.
Developed with input from Michael Rogers of HTC-Columbia with 5 months active testing under professional racing conditions. The Bont Zero is the lightweight shoe of choice, but not only for those who are lightweight.
Specification :
Lace Cover : Low profile aerodynamic lace cover has been fitted to cover the non-slip Bont lace system.
Replaceable sole guards : Replaceable sole guards have been designed for maximum grip and are replaceable.
Anti Stretch : Between the outer skin and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer skin and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assists in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke.
Last Design : A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, "We make shoes for cycling, not walking.
Padding : Zero is fitted with high density memory foam with dry cell technology to ensure minimum water retention in wet conditions.
Heat Moulding : Bont cycling shoe is the most heat mouldable shoes available. Bont's proprietary resin has been developed and perfected over 36 years to be an extremely stiff resin that becomes pliable at relatively low temperatures. Unlike other shoes which are mouldable only in select locations, all Bont cycling shoes are able to be moulded over the entire chasis providing cyclist not only with the most anatomically designed cycling shoe on the market today, but also with the ability to fine tune the fit of the entire shoe to give a customised fit.
Medial Longitudinal Arch Support : Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet. Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedalling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain.
Anatomical Forefoot Shape : Conventional cycling shoes offer a "dress shoe" type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common "hot foot" sensation. Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area.
Anatomical Heel Cup : The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedalling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation.
Lateral Forefoot Support : Bont's lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain.
