At just 99 grammes-per-shoe, the S-Works EXOS 99 Road Shoes are the world's lightest production cycling shoes. They are ultra-stiff and still feature all of Specialized's Body Geometry features, whilst having all the pedigree and performance that S-Works is known for. It's the hardest project they've ever completed, which is why only 500 pairs of them will ever be produced.
Just like the EXOS, the carbon outsole was developed using an advanced form of Finite Element Analysis and pressure mapping to pull out material where it wasn’t needed. This allowed Specialized to keep crazy-high stiffness numbers, too. Two exclusive features were used, as well as weight restrictions on each size, to ensure that each shoe hits its correct weight. For the uppers, the heel counter has been completely removed. With a little help from the space-grade Dyneema® mesh and some CubicTec reinforcement, the heel moulds to the back of your foot, so that no watt is wasted. A new Warp Sleeve vamp was also developed that got rid of the toe box, and further cut down the weight whilst increasing comfort.
If you're on the hunt for the highest performance, lightest cycling shoes ever developed, look no further than the S-Works EXOS 99.
