fizik (Italy) - Press Release: The Call of the Cobbles. New Tempo Overcurve R4 Les Classiques.

Of all the legendary races facing the pro peloton each year, few hold the allure and notoriety of the one-day Cobbled Classics.

Each spring riders battle across the French and Belgian countryside through clouds of dust, mud and rain – and depending on weather, even snow – in search of cycling immortality. Whether climbing the brutal Koppenberg or fighting for position before the next secteur on the way to Roubaix, only the boldest welcome the challenge of le pavé, and they deserve shoes fit for that challenge.

For these riders we present the Tempo Overcurve R4 – Les Classiques, with design details inspired by the mud, grit and dust emblematic of the single-stage Classics. Featuring our moderately stiff R4 outsole, asymmetrical “Overcurve” design and micro-adjustable BOA® IP1 dial, the special edition Les Classiques are capable of taking on even the roughest pavé, channelling the spirit of the stones for riders ready to answer their call.
