Z1 PRO
The Impossible Triangle — Solved. Born from Grand Tour data. Built for every rider who refuses to compromise.
About This Collection
Built for riders who refuse to compromise
The cycling world has long accepted a brutal trade-off: pedaling stiffness, long-distance comfort, and lightweight construction — pick two. The Z1-PRO was built to disprove that. By analyzing real-world data from over 20 Grand Tour riders, the ZUATU R&D team completely reimagined the underlying structure. Zone-optimized carbon sole, Vibram® anti-slip heel, dual dials, and a one-piece microfibre upper — every element engineered to eliminate the compromise. The result is a shoe that transfers every watt to the pedal, weighs approximately 190 grams, and feels like it was made for your foot alone.
Translation missing: de.This shoe is right for you if
- You race or train at a serious amateur or professional level
- You want maximum power transfer with ~190g ultra-light construction
- You need long-distance comfort without sacrificing stiffness.
- You want Vibram® walking grip and Dual Dials precision closure
