Description
The Forma Phantom boots feature the Vertebra Flex System on the back. Flexing is encouraged and controlled by the VFS. It has a double pivot system integrated in it and allows the boot to move in four different direction. You can find two pivot points on the ankle area and another two on the back of the calf. The system is designed to give the rider the maximum protection and to avoid unusual torsions in case of an accident.
The innovative double-density rubber sole provides greater abrasion resistance while increasing grip with the bike. It is specifically designed to meet the new and more aggressive styles of riding that involve placing the foot on the asphalt when braking/turning.
The sliders, heel protection and lateral insert are made of titanium, the most resistant and light material possible. Forma decided on this particular material for these areas for very specific reasons. One, on the external toe area, titanium causes less friction and is less prone to wear and tear. Two, the lateral insert provides better protection in case of an accident. And three, the heel cap guarantees better protection and also hides below a shock absorbing insert that helps to redistribute the strength of the impact on the entire boot instead of just one point, thus reducing the damage.
The feet are kept in place by the internal fastening system, which also provides improved comfort and stability due to the double foam padding of the sock-like interior. The system also features a special padding around the heel area, which helps provide more grip and avoids the feeling of slipping feet.
