Forma Phantoms
Italian manufacturer Forma says its new 'Phantom' and 'Phantom Flow' race boot is a brand-new on-road boot designed by its in-house R&D department and developed by "listening to the suggestions and comments from some of the best professional riders".
"Its attractive shape meets the needs of an increasingly attentive target market that is in search of continuous innovation. Advanced technical features such as the choice of microfibres, the personalised double-density rubber sole, the titanium sliders (front, side, rear), the air intakes, the shock absorber insert in the heel and the rear vertebrae system ensure controlled flex and torsion, making the 'Phantom' one of the best boots in its category". The 'Phantom Flow' has the same features as the 'Phantom', with a different choice of microfibres.

The Vertebra Flex System (VFS) on the back allows flexing. It has a double pivot system integrated in it and allows the boot to move in four different directions - there are 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".
Other features include ergonomically shaped and shock-absorbing PU material, an internal fastening system with double foam padding and special padding around the heel area, while a 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.
