Cyclone™ Bike Foot
The Cyclone™ Bike Foot was designed without compromising durability and to minimize foot weight. While pedaling, the Cyclone™ gives unmatched energy transfer. The short foot length design increases pedal stroke efficiency. The innovative design eliminates energy lost to weight caused by a foot shell and shoe. It also eliminates energy loss to deflection caused by the flex in a shoe and foot shell. The adjustable pyramid allows the foot to be either a right or a left. The cleat bracket can be used with two or three hole cleats.
