When the moment comes for an attack in the hills, a long solo move, or a full gas sprint for the line, every watt counts, which is why we designed the S-Works Ares to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made. We combined decades of Body Geometry development with obsessive innovation working with the world’s best athletes to completely reimagine the race shoe. An entirely new, patent-pending closure system, Dyneema®-reinforced toungless sock, and ultra-stiff FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole eliminate foot roll, reduce pressure on tendons, and transfer every ounce of power to the pedals for unprecedented performance and comfort. It’s 1% faster than any shoe we’ve ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
The key to more comfort, less injuries, and higher power output comes from our ergonomically designed, scientifically tested Body Geometry features—Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and personalized insoles with a Metatarsal Button. When used in harmony, these three features align the hip, foot, and knee, while also limiting medial/lateral knee movement and maintaining good circulation down to your toes.
Patent-pending closure design secures the foot for extreme, out-of-saddle efforts, locking the metatarsals and preventing lateral roll.
Dyneema® is sandwiched between layers of synthetic and TPU to create no-stretch zones for the ultimate connection and comfort.
Our stiffest and lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate maximizes power transfer: Stiffness Index 15.
Independent BOA® Li2 Fit System for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the Boa® Guarantee.
PadLock™ heel construction cradles the heel and is proven to improve acceleration.
Non-slip, replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws for security.
Form Fit last with a roomy toe box for the ultimate in connectivity and comfort.
Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position cleats 5mm rearward and fits all major 3-hole road pedals.

Everything was great. Was waiting for the SL9 to release since the first leak. Going from a SL7 was night and day.
Also Sierra Bicycle Supply, was amazing. Will be shopping here plenty more. The service they displayed was top tier, from the order placing online all the way to the delivery.
After many years I wore out my derailleur gears. Since I ride on my wind trainer daily, I needed to get up and riding again. Riding us part of my cancer therapy. Replacing the gears was a quick and easy way to fix the problem. Cost was fine and the delivery was fast. Thank you.
Got this for my kids bike. He does XC racing. Has been riding in dry lose dirt, wet conditions. Lots of climbing and some downhill. He loves them. Shipped fast and in sexure packaging. I would definitely buy again.

Exceptional Wheels
The CLX III are exceptional I was a little apprehensive about buying them having ridden the Enve 4.5 but you feel less crosswinds and their lighter and spin fast. The spokes seemed to offer a lot of dampening vibration. Win win in my book.
