We designed FORZA for gravel riders, adventure cyclists, and bikepacking enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on fit, comfort, or style. Developed under the leadership of industry expert Alberto Fonte, FORZA complements our Distanza model to complete our off-road lineup — blending our signature minimalist aesthetic with advanced functionality for the long ride.
At the heart of FORZA is our brand-new Twist Tech dial closure system, making its debut on this model. This proprietary micro-adjusting mechanism delivers a precise, uniform fit across the entire foot, with an ergonomic rubber-edged dial that stays grippy in any condition. It works in direct synergy with our patented TWS 2.0 (Tension Wrap System): the dial controls forefoot volume through integrated webbing straps, distributing pressure evenly across the upper to eliminate hot spots and keep you riding efficiently from kilometre one to the last.
Like Distanza, FORZA features our crag-inspired outsole that wraps over the toe and around the heel — built for grip and protection on technical terrain, hike-a-bike sections, and everything off the bike. The upper is constructed from lightweight engineered mesh with strategic TPU reinforcements, a generous toe box, and a deep heel cup for natural foot positioning. The result is a shoe that weighs just 320g in size 42 and feels as comfortable at hour eight as it does at hour one.
FORZA and Distanza together represent our vision for gravel footwear: purposeful, precise, and built to go wherever the road stops.
