    In words

    Intro
    Ultra minimalist, with machined components expertly milled from a single piece to remove any surplus weight. Toe piece with two springs per wing arm, with crisp, precise movements; simple heel unit with titanium U-spring. The sturdy brake uses a technopolymer flap that clicks into place to lock it in walk mode and doubles as a climbing aid. Typically high-quality Italian manufacturing and a sleek all-black look make it very easy on the eye.
