Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Hassle free returns

Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.

You are entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 30 working days for a refund less the cost to us of shipping the goods to you initially. Your refund will be paid within 15 days. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault - for example, if goods are faulty or if we have sent you an incorrect item.

Any goods returned must be in the same perfect condition as when purchased (including their packaging). Some items cannot be accepted for return due to safety or hygiene reasons - Cycle Helmets, sunglasses, underwear, and socks are included in this category. The goods must in an ‘as new’ condition and returned in the original, undamaged packaging, along with any accessories and free gifts received with them. You can examine the goods as you would in a shop but you must not have used or installed them or input any data on them (electrical items).

If we send out an order and it is returned due to non-delivery for any reason, we will refund the item but not the shipping amount paid for the order. This includes 3rd party or P.O. Box delivery addresses. Should the order be refused by the company it is considered the equivalent of the customer rejecting it themselves.

All returns should be sent to this address (and can be returned by hand if you are local) with a note requesting whether you wish for a refund or exchange:

If you are returning from outside of the EU, and if we have to pay any charges to receive the item that is returned, you agree that this will be deductable from your refund. We recommend that you state the item is a "Product Return" so that no customs charges should be levied before arrival at the shop. You are fully responsible for any return you send to us until we receive it. Please use a tracked delivery method for your own peace of mind.

If you are returning to us in Republic of Ireland, we have partnered up with An Post to make returns easier. You can create a return on this page and use it to create a label / drop off to an An Post collection area (subsidised cost of €7) or have a parcel collected from your home (€8.50):

In that case, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.

The business is based in the Republic of Ireland and the currency is Euro. We can process directly in Euro only. If you have paid with a bank card based in another currency, you may be subject to transaction fees and exchange rates that are outside of our control. If you then need a refund, we will refund the amount required, but due to currency fluctuations and bank fees, you may not see the exact amount returned to your bank account.

If you cancel an order while it is in transit to you, you will be charged a minimum of €7.50 to cover the cost of the return shipping (this is for orders in Ireland). The cost will be higher outside of Ireland. We promise that we will only charge you the actual cost to us, there will be no further surcharge. This cost will be deducted from any refund due for the item(s) returned.

R3 Aria Black/Fluo Yellow

Season:2018

Brand:Fizik

Code:R3ARIA18

The Fizik R3B shoe has been one of our most successful shoes to date. This is thanks to it's excellent balance of fit, comfort and power transfer at it's hotly contested price point.

With the development of the Infinito R1 and the huge success of Fizik's Volume Control fitting system that is adaptable to fit a wide range of foot types, the R3 has undergone some large revisions for the 2018 season and is set to become as popular as it's forbear.

While the Aria R3 shoe is a far cry from it's predecessor, it is essentially a revision of Fizik's R1B, the top of the range shoe before the release of the newInfinito R1,and this is a very good thing.

The Aria R3 moves away from the single Boa and single velcro strap closure of the R3B and adopts the dual Boa IP1 closures of the R1B and Infinito. By doing this, the Aria R3 can now take advantage of Fizik's Volume Control approach to fit. Volume Control is Fizik's way of creating an adaptable upper that allows the accommodation of almost all foot types. A dual-Boa IP1 closure sits to the outside of the shoe and each dial is used to independently adjust and tighten the upper and lower parts of a 'split' upper. This allows for micro-adjustable tailoring of the shoes' fit while the off-set nature of the upper, means that aerodynamics are optimised. Boa closures have been around for several years and their ability to spread pressure over a broader area ensures less numbness and keeps blood flow around the foot from being restricted, as is often the case with ratchet and strap variants. The use of plastic loops for the wire laces, further reduces pressure points on the top of the foot for even greater foot comfort. The Aria features an updated 'Enhanced Volume Control' which extends the split upper further into the toe-box for even greater tailoring of the fit.

The Upper is manufactired from Microtex - the same material as found on the company's saddles and Infinito shoes. Microtex strikes an excellent balance of all-season breathability, durability, flex, low weight and support. The fabric is 1.2mm thick and laser perforated and has no seams that can lead to pressure points or areas of irritation through rub. The result is a pliable upper that cleans up well and that adds to the comfort of the shoe.

The Aria R3 features the out sole of the R1B, a uni-directional carbon structure that simultaneously reduces weight and adds lateral stiffness to offer the rider optimal power transfer to the pedals. The sole is vented to manage heat and moisture and in combination with Fizik's insole helps to keep the foot environment stable. The discreet toe stud and removable heel pads lend purchase when off the bike and protect the sole from scuffs and damage.

Handmade in Italy and finished with subtle detailing, the Fizik Aria R3 is a beautiful shoe to look at and raises the bar at the price point in terms of aesthetic, comfort and performance.
