Introducing our new engineered Xnetic™ Knit (pronounced ex-net-ic) for unparalleled comfort and breathability. Xnetic Knit technology was developed for the specific needs of performance cycling. A TPU skeletal system provides support where you need it, while the knit offers suppleness for superior sock-like comfort. The porous knit material makes the entire upper breathable, giving you a shoe that has superior ventilation and drying time. Don’t confuse this knit footwear with a fragile sweater, because these shoes stand up to the elements. The Xnetic™ Knit is DWR-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning after grimy rides. Rubber or TPU toe and heel guards provide abrasion resistance and superior durability. Simply speaking, they are built to tackle the road, trails and any environment where your adventure takes you. Plus, the style of knit is simply undeniable. 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear Empire E70 & Empire W E70 Knit Feel the difference Empire E70 Knit Empire W E70 Knit 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear Empire VR70 Knit A new approach to the trail 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear Republic R Knit Knit comfort and style with co-molded durability 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear A New Foundation for the Republic Co-molded durability The Republic™ R Knit and Republic™ LXR now feature our nylon and rubber co-molded outsole. The co-molding process results in an outsole that is extremely durable, and the rubber walking pads provide superior traction on roads, sidewalks and gravel when you’re off the bike. This co-molding process was pioneered and proven with the popular Privateer R, and we are proud to offer this rugged outsole in the Republic R Knit and Republic LXR.

The Prolight Techlace is a major breakthrough in cycling shoe design because it combines exceptional stiffness, fast adjustability and incredible weight savings. Every part of the shoe was evaluated to minimize weight and maximize performance, making Prolight Techlace your best choice when every gram matters and every second counts. 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear The Prolight Techlace Technical Mesh Upper The ultralight upper is made with a Technical Mesh material that doesn’t stretch under power. Technical Mesh is a custom monofilament fiber that is reinforced with mesh fabric and welded to Teijin TPU film to give structure and durability while enhancing fit. Techlace Closure System The Techlace closure system couples the benefits of laces with the convenience of a strap for supurb fit and easy adjustment on-the-fly. It also eliminates the use of D-rings and other hardware, for a lightweight system. Textreme® Carbon Fiber Outsole The Textreme carbon fiber outsole is made with an unconventional composite that is woven in flat sheets instead of threads, producing a carbon fiber that’s ultra-stiff, yet lighter because it requires less resin. In fact, it has the same stiffness profile as the Easton SLX II outsole but with a 22% weight savings. 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear The Trans Boa & The Espada Boa Impressive fit, performance and value The Trans™ Boa® and women’s-specific Espada™ Boa® combine timeless cycling style with the latest materials to redefine performance at this price. It starts with a perforated, breathable microfiber and mesh upper that conforms to your foot, with a Boa® L6 closure dial for fast, intuitive adjustment.

These race- bred models are designed for riders who want mega power transfer without sacrificing the durability needed to stand up to rugged trails and conditions. 2018 Giro Cycling Footwear The Code Techlace & The Sica Techlace This extraordinary design is driven by our Techlace system, which couples the comfort of laces with the convenience of a strap for superb fit and easy adjustment on-the-fly. By replacing D-rings and other hardware with laces, the Techlace system provides a more supple feel across the forefoot. Plus, the laces can be easily replaced if damaged. To improve the adjustability of the two-strap system, we’ve partnered with Boa® to achieve precise adjustment and a secure feel at the top of the instep using their L6 dial, which offers intuitive adjustment in 1mm increments when tightening. Finally, we added a bash guard for improved durability. Giro footwear is famous for fit and comfort, and the Code Techlace and Sica Techlace are no exception. The upper features our proprietary Evofiber™ microfiber for superb fit and durability, and complements the adjustable SuperNatural Fit Kit that allows custom-tuning of your arch support.

  • Cycle Cleats Factsheet
    The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Road Safety factsheet: Cycling Cleats Road Safety Factsheet January 2018 Cycling Cleats Factsheet What are Cycling Cleats? A cycling cleat is a small triangular metal or plastic wedge, which is attached into the sole of a cyclist’s shoe. It is a sprung mechanism that allows the cyclist to clip their feet in and out of their pedals. To accompany the cleats, the standard bike pedals are replaced with smaller clip-less pedals. These pedals have a mechanism, which connects to the specially designed shoe cleat, similar to a ski boot fitting and "locks" the rider’s feet firmly in place. The clip-less mechanism was derived from ski boot bindings, originally by the French company LOOK for road use. With almost all cleats, to release the clip, the cyclist twists their heel outwards, and the cleat releases. However, some cleats allow the cyclist to unclip in any direction other than straight up. This ensures that in an accident the shoes release automatically, and the cyclist can unclip easily rather than having to bend down and release a buckle as with the older clip and strap model 1. Different Kinds of Cycling Cleats Various manufacturers produce different clip-less pedals and shoes but they fall into one of two types: road systems and off-road systems. Both of these styles use the metal or plastic cleat fastened to the sole of the shoe. Typically, these cycling shoes are designed to accept only one of the two types of cleat, although there are a limited number of shoes that will take either a road or off-road cleat 1.

  • The Effect of Foot Orthoses on Energetics and Lower Extremity
    THE EFFECT OF FOOT ORTHOSES ON ENERGETICS AND LOWER EXTREMITY CYCLING MECHANICS IN HEALTHY RECREATIONAL ADULTS By Jake O. Campbell A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Kinesiology Committee Membership Dr. Justus Ortega, Committee Chair, Graduate Coordinator Dr. Young Sub Kwon, Committee Member Dr. Sheila Alicea, Committee Member May 2016 ABSTRACT THE EFFECT OF FOOT ORTHOSES ON ENERGETICS AND LOWER EXTREMITY CYCLING MECHANICS IN HEALTHY RECREATIONAL ADULTS Jake O. Campbell The use of custom foot orthotics and wedging techniques has been recognized in the literature as an accepted method to mechanically alter or improve joint function at the hip and knee. This study investigated the effect of foot orthoses on energetics and lower extremity cycling mechanics in healthy recreational adults during. Specifically, the effect of two commercial insoles and one lateral heel wedge on net metabolic power and lower extremity mechanics was quantified. It was hypothesized that alterations to medial foot support would affect lower extremity mechanics as well as net metabolic power. Participants (n = 10) included young (26 ± 4 years) male (n=6) and female (n=4) recreational cyclists (8 ± 4 hours/week cycling). The cyclists completed an individualized protocol that involved cycling in four foot orthoses conditions (Control, Insole 1, Insole 2, Wedge) at three power intensities (50%, 65%, 80%) derived from initial max watt test. A one-way repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVA) was employed to detect influences of condition and sub-maximal workload on net metabolic power. Furthermore, a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was chosen to detect differences between condition and sub-maximal workload on cycling kinematics.
