The new FUSION has been completely overhauled. The rand has more downturn and a slightly wider forefoot. A further new feature is the innovative fastening system, which combines the benefits of VCR and laces to enable rapid and customized adjustment to the feet. The laces are made of extremely strong and abrasion-resistant Technora aramid fibers left over in Red Chili's production department and normally used for paragliders. The tongue made of 3 mm thick neoprene improves the comfort and distributes the closure forces more evenly. Thanks to these features, the FUSION offers enhanced performance and a more individual fit while still remaining a versatile all-rounder. This is further highlighted by the full-surface RX-1 ALLROUND sole, which impresses with particularly well-balanced properties with regard to friction, sensitivity, durability, and edge stability.
