"Specifically, the shoe features a wider, rounder forefoot and lower-drop profile compared to traditional cycling shoes - not zero drop, but said to be 6mm, which is less than others. Brand Manager Alex Locatelli explained the design reflects how modern riders pedal, with an expanded toe box delivering a more natural fit for comfort and efficiency."
"At this level, riders still want performance, but they're less likely to be willing to sacrifice comfort to get it. The Lyra is the latest Fizik shoe to get this fit treatment, but not the first: Fizik has progressively updated its shoe lasts across recent models, gradually moving toward wider toe boxes and rounder forefoot profiles."
"Construction-wise, the Lyra incorporates an R4 fiber composite outsole with a stiffness index of 8 for power transfer, weighing 259 grams per shoe. The engineered mesh upper includes strategically placed polyurethane-laminated and ventilated zones around the closure system and medial area for structure and support."
Fizik has introduced the Lyra, a new road cycling shoe reflecting evolving industry trends toward wider, rounder forefronts and lower-drop profiles. The shoe features a 6mm drop—lower than traditional cycling shoes—and an expanded toe box designed for natural fit and pedaling efficiency. At $249.99, the Lyra targets riders seeking performance without compromising comfort. The shoe incorporates an R4 fiber composite outsole with stiffness index 8, weighing 259 grams per shoe, and uses an engineered mesh upper with strategic polyurethane-laminated zones. A Dual BOA Li2 dial system enables independent instep and midfoot adjustment. The updated outsole supports rearward cleat positioning, increasingly popular for pedaling stability during extended efforts.
