Gobik Overshoes Drag - White

Overshoes with high aerodynamic performance, designed to optimise one of the areas most exposed to airflow during pedalling: the area of foot, ankle, and shin.
Designed for time trial competitions and high-speed scenarios, they integrate a hybrid textile architecture that acts differently on the aerodynamically critical areas. Their aim is to reduce the turbulence around the shoe and promote a cleaner and more efficient interaction with the airflow.
The shaft features a two-layer construction that combines a three-dimensional structured fabric on the inside with a smooth outer fabric. This system helps to improve flow stability in a performance-critical area, especially in aggressive positions and at high speeds.
The lower area covering the shoe is made from a smooth, polyurethane-coated fabric, chosen for its ability to create a uniform outer surface. By encapsulating elements like BOA closures, Velcro, laces, vents, or openings of the shoe itself, it helps to reduce the residual drag associated with their irregular geometry.

Technical features:

• Breathability
• Weight: 64 g (M)
• Usage temperature: 12-
• 30 ºC

Optimal usage conditions:

• Designed for time trial competitions, high-speed tests, and specific training sessions where aerodynamic efficiency is a priority. They provide their maximum performance in aggressive positions on the bike, especially when reducing the drag generated by the system of shoe, foot, ankle, and shin area.
• Suitable for mild or warm conditions within a usage range of +12 to +30 ºC. They are not designed as thermal or waterproof overshoes, but as a technical accessory to enhance aerodynamic performance on the road.

Technology:

• Its design meets the specific requirements of time trial competitions, where every detail of the system of rider and bike can influence the reduction of overall aerodynamic drag. A hybrid textile architecture has been developed that works differently in the shaft and in the lower area that covers the shoe. The shaft features a double-layer construction made of a three-dimensional structured fabric on the inside and a smooth fabric on the outside. This combination allows for influencing the behaviour of the airflow in a key area like the ankle and the lower part of the leg, contributing to a more efficient management of the boundary layer and a reduction of turbulence. The lower area is made from a smooth, polyurethane-coated fabric, chosen to create a uniform outer surface and minimise the interferences caused by the irregular geometry of cycling shoes. Elements like BOA closures, Velcro, laces, vents, or openings are encapsulated under a continuous layer, promoting a cleaner interaction with the air. The reinforcements at the toe and inside improve durability in the areas most exposed to friction, especially when in contact with the shoe, the cleat, or potential rubs with the bike. This construction allows maintaining the aerodynamic focus of the product without neglecting the resilience at critical points. Its high elasticity ensures a close and stable fit, preventing wrinkles or slipping that could impair the continuity of the surface. The fit allows the overshoes to adapt precisely to the system of foot and shoe, maintaining a clear silhouette even under intense loads. Weighing 64 g in size M, it offers a lightweight and competition-specific construction designed for integration into high-performance configurations without adding unnecessary volume. The result is an aerodynamic, technical, and highly specialised overshoe developed for cyclists who want to optimise every detail of their equipment and reduce the rolling resistance in scenarios where every watt counts.

Product care:

• Do not dry clean. Wash with cold water, use a neutral detergent, and do not use fabric softener. Wash inside out and with the zipper fully closed; otherwise, pilling may occur on certain fabrics. Always use a laundry bag if possible and load the washing machine only with a minimal amount of laundry. Use the delicate fabric programme or spin at the lowest possible speed. Dry the garment inside out and in the shade. Do not soak the garment or wring it out to drain it. Do not iron.
