Product Information
Full details
The Fizik Tempo Powerstrap R5 is an ideal choice for cyclists seeking a balance between high-performance efficiency and long-ride comfort on paved surfaces. Designed for versatility, these shoes feature an innovative wraparound closure system that allows for independent adjustment of the instep and midfoot for a custom fit; however, riders who prefer the micro-adjustability of a traditional dial-based boa system may find the velcro straps require more manual intervention during mid-ride adjustments.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes with mountain bike pedals?
No, these shoes are designed for 3-bolt road cleats and are not compatible with 2-bolt SPD mountain bike systems.
How do I clean the white Microtex upper?
Use a gentle soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may discolor or degrade the material.
Are these suitable for racing?
Yes, they provide sufficient stiffness for racing, though they prioritize endurance comfort over the ultra-lightweight profile of pro-level race shoes.
Is the sole fully carbon fiber?
The sole is a carbon-reinforced nylon composite, providing a balance between stiffness for power transfer and comfort for longer rides.
How should the shoe fit?
The shoe should feel snug and secure without creating pressure points. Your toes should have slight room to wiggle.
Troubleshooting
Foot numbness during long rides
Loosen the midfoot strap slightly to accommodate natural foot swelling and ensure your cleat position is not too far forward.
Heel slippage
Tighten the lower strap more securely to pull the upper firmly around the arch and ensure the heel cup is properly seated against the back of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Tempo Powerstrap R5 is compatible with standard 3-bolt road cycling cleats (such as Shimano SPD-SL or Look Keo). Ensure cleats are positioned correctly using a professional bike fit measurement to prevent knee strain. Tighten bolts firmly to the cleat manufacturer's specified torque.
Compatibility: These shoes are strictly for road cycling and are not compatible with 2-bolt MTB/SPD style cleats.
Care: Keep your shoes in top condition by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to remove road grime and salt. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to absorb moisture, allowing them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic upper.
