Fizik has announced that the new Vento Omna will replace the R5 Overcurve in the brand\u2019s performance road cycling shoe range.<\/p>\n

Fizik claims the \u00a3169.99 Vento Omna is light, comfortable and well ventilated, making the features of its top-tier models accessible to more riders.<\/p>\n

First spotted at the Cycle Show<\/a>, the Vento Omna has the same composite outsole as the Fizik Artica R5<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sole scores 6\/10 on the brand\u2019s shoe stiffness<\/a> scale. For context, the full carbon sole on the pro-level Fizik Vento Infinito Carbon 2 is rated 10\/10.<\/p>\n

Fizik says the Vento Omna\u2019s cleat bolt holes are positioned relatively far back to improve pedalling efficiency and reduce knee compression.<\/p>\n

A patchwork of vents are situated at the top right of the sole. Fizik adds that the mesh-like holes in the Microtex upper also aid airflow to the feet.<\/p>\n

The Vento Omna uses a unidirectional, single Boa dial as seen on the brand\u2019s more expensive shoes, such as the Infinito series and the Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It loses the Velcro toe strap from its predecessor, the Fizik R5 Overcurve<\/a>, and its fit is claimed to be more generous.<\/p>\n

The Fizik Vento Omna has a moulded heel lug, a feature that can stop road cycling shoes<\/a> from slipping up and down on the heel. Heel lugs can also be replaceable but we\u2019re not yet sure if that\u2019s the case on the Vento Omna.<\/p>\n

\"""\"<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>

Fizik claims the Vento Omna weighs 238g per shoe in an unspecified size. Sizing runs through from EU 36-48 with half sizes from EU 37-47. A wide-fit option isn\u2019t currently available, but Fizik says it\u2019s coming soon.<\/p>\n

Available colours are blue, white, black, metallic cherry, red and gun metal.<\/p>\n
