Nimbl shoes have world
class properties across all major cycling shoe performance criteria. Our
shoes are amongst the lightest in the world. Our carbon platform is amongst
the stiffest evidenced by the world champion track sprinters that ride our
shoes. What fewer know is that nimbl shoes also stand out in aerodynamic
performance….
FEAT is our family name for single dial products and
it has just got a new flagship. We present you The FEAT ULTIMATE which
carries all our learnings from track champions, World Tour riders and most
recently by us supporting Dan Bigham’s world hour record project. It is a
benchmark setting 185 gram (size 42), ultimately stable, efficient, and
aerodynamic shoe that can confidently carry the ULTIMATE title in its
range.
The FEAT ULTIMATE are based on our
proprietary carbon chassis that is known for its stiffness and power
transfer efficiency
For the FEAT ULTIMATE, we have taken shoe
stiffness and foot stability to a new level by introducing a new feature:
the Carbon Power Strap.
The Carbon Power Strap
keeps your feet firmly in position. With it being manufactured in carbon
fiber, it is obviously stiffer than any other material adding to the
stability of your feet and thereby your power transfer efficiency.
Conclusively, the single dial fit system enables on-the-fly adjustment just
before you sprint to the finish line.
ULTIMATELY AERODYNAMIC
Dan Bigham, performance
manager at the Ineos Grenadiers and former world record holder selected,
after numerous aero tests with multiple shoes from different brands, nimbl
as his shoe partner: “I chose nimbl shoes for the hour record attempt as
real world, track and wind tunnel testing showed that nimbl shoes were
aerodynamically superior to all other shoes tested – they delivered 200
meter extra during 1 hour at 55kph. We have worked with the nimbl team to push
its design further, resulting in a pair of shoes that rendered a further
200 meter gain. A unique accomplishment that goes beyond a ‘marginal gain’.
ULTIMATELY Light
In general, nimbl shoes are
substantially lighter than their peers. With the ULTIMATE line, we have
taken lightweight construction to a whole new level. From the development
of the AIR ULTIMATE, we learned quite a few tricks to make ultra-light
shoes. These learnings are now translated into the FEAT ULTIMATE. The
result: a sub-200 gram high-performance product.
Our secrets? For one, our
shoes are handmade in Italy by our experienced craftsmen which craft our
shoes according to the tightest tolerances that Far East production often
cannot. Secondly, our engineering team focuses relentless on performance
only. The result is a no-frills, focused on purpose shoes that do what they
must do: make you a better rider.
