TECHNOLOGIES

Synchwire

Synchwire construction is a seamless upper that is ventilated and reinforced to create a lightweight cycling shoe with incredible airflow and shape retention. Synchwire is an advanced composite material and consists of thermofixed film that provides durability, an inner fleece to distribute power from the BOA® system to the upper for direct power transfer and a monofilament mesh for ventilation.

Easton EC90 SLX2 carbon sole

Giro works closely with Easton's engineering team to develop proprietary soles that provide the most direct and powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Through advanced modeling and in-house fixturing in their extensive testing lab, each outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack height (up to 6.5mm). In addition, the flatter edges of Giro soles allow the upper of the shoe to adapt to larger or wider feet (what Giro calls the spillover effect) without uncomfortable pinching or binding.

Supernatural Fit Kit with customizable arch support

The Giro SuperNatural Fit System combines a bike-specific footbed with an adjustable arch support kit. By simply selecting from one of the low, medium and high arch supports included in the kit, riders and fitters can independently adjust the arch support to improve fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing or eliminating common complaints such as hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men's and women's sizes and includes X-Static® fibers in the footbed to combat odors and other bacteria.
