FORM XPR – Extreme Cleat Aft Extenders (Mid-foot / 3-hole)
FORM Cleat Extender Plate XPR is the most advanced tool for achieving a mid-foot position. The XPR model allows for an extreme 20 mm rearward shift of the cleat, drastically reducing peripheral muscle fatigue.
Important note: If wider lateral adjustment (Q-Factor) is your priority, check out the FORM XPS model, offering up to 10 mm of horizontal adjustment.
TECHNICAL COMPARISON: FORM XPS vs. FORM XPR
| Feature | FORM XPS (Dual Focus) | FORM XPR (Aft Focus) |
|---|---|---|
| Longitudinal Adjustment (Vertical) | 8 mm rearward | 20 mm rearward |
| Lateral Adjustment (Horizontal) | 10 mm (medial/lateral) | 3 mm (medial/lateral) |
| Main Goal | Optimize Q-Factor and cleat position | Extreme Mid-foot / Achilles relief |
| Required Saddle Lowering | Usually not | Yes (crucial) |
POSITIVE EFFECTS AND BENEFITS
- Reduction of the lever effect: Shortens the foot's lever, drastically reducing lower leg muscle fatigue.
- Achilles relief: Transfers load to larger muscle groups – glutes and quadriceps.
- Ultra & Triathlon Performance: Allows you to conserve energy for the final stages of the route or the running segment.
- Elimination of "Hot-Spots": Reduces foot numbness and forefoot burning by changing the pressure point.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION (XPR)
| Vertical Adjustment (Aft) | 20 mm heelward shift |
| Lateral Adjustment (Horizontal) | 3 mm (medial / lateral) |
| Thread mounting | 4 mm T-nuts (M5 stainless steel) |
| Base plate | Flexible design adapting to the sole |
Important note: Shifting to a mid-foot position requires lowering your saddle to maintain proper knee joint angles. FORM XPS/XPR installation instructions
