    Finish line, town line, throwdown, any time. We designed the S-Works Ares (pronounced "Air-eez") to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made. Decades of Body Geometry development met obsessive innovation working with the best athletes in the world to reimagine the race shoe. It’s 1% faster than any shoe we’ve ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.
     
    The S-Works Ares strikes the ultimate balance between unprecedented power transfer and all-day comfort by utilizing our entirely new, patent-pending closure architecture. By triangulating retention and spreading out pressure over a larger surface area, it essentially eliminates foot roll, so you can lock in and power up for more speed. 
     
    But explosive speed should only be uncomfortable for the competition. This new closure system is combined with a Dyneema®-reinforced tongueless sock, eliminating impingement on the tendons for supreme comfort. Comprehensive testing on power output and acceleration validated the S-Works Ares’ power delivery—our pressure mapping studies verified a 20% increase in contact surface compared to a traditional closure system, delivering a fit that is more secure AND more comfortable. 

    Fundamental to the design of the S-Works Ares is Body Geometry—optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment—to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce the chance of injury. This is performance our athletes can feel. 

    Our peak power ride study validated the S-Works Ares increased power delivery and our pressure mapping studies verify a 20% increase in contact surface compared to traditional closure systems. All of this adds up to a shoe 1% faster than anything we’ve ever made, validated by science. Over a 300 metre sprint, that’s the difference between a photo finish and winning by a bike length.
