Light, supple, durable and incredibly efficient at transferring power to the pedals, the Shot 2 Road Cycling Shoes cut no corners when it comes to cycling performance. A microfibre upper gives you a pair of shoes that offer immediate comfort. And it's durable too, an essential for regular training and racing. At the heart of any great cycling shoes is the sole, and here the C-Boost SRS Carbon sole unit gets optimal power to your pedals with little wasted effort. C-Boost SRS Carbon Sole Designed to deliver uncompromising performance, this carbon sole has a carefully engineered shape and a carbon lay-up that delivers direct power transfer, leading to lightning-quick acceleration and rival-dropping pedal strokes. Cleat extension has been increased ± 5 mm to allow for more cleat adjustment while the millimetre scale allows you to get the right position every time you replace your cleats. SRS (Sole Replacement System) The SRS sole features replaceable inserts in Nylon and TPU. These inserts provide protection of the carbon sole in the areas most prone to wear and damage and boosts durability and grip when you're walking. Ventilation holes are fully integrated too, ensuring excellent air circulation during every pedal stroke. Double-Techno-3 Push Flex System With the Double-Techno-3 Push Flex System, Sidi have created a quick and easy adjustment system that is also engineered to eliminate pressure across the instep. Being positioned centrally, you'll also benefit from more even closure pressure between inner and outer sides of the shoe, securing your foot for an incredibly stable pedal stroke. Micro-adjustment and easy release make this a system you can use easily on the go too - tighten up for the sprint - loosen up when it's hot. Reflex Adjustable Heel Retention Device Ensuring there's no heel slippage and as a result, no loss of pedalling efficiency or discomfort, the Reflex adjustable heel retention device is easily adjusted to suit your foot shape and preference. Sprinting, climbing or driving the peloton, enjoy firm foot-hold. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
The Sidi Sixty is a very special cycling shoe to mark the Italian brand’s 60th anniversary. Handmade in Italy, the Sixty is a fresh take on Sidi’s timeless style. With a lightweight chassis, and cutting-edge materials, the high-performance shoe has already made appearances in the pro peloton. The Vent Carbon Sole has been meticulously designed for excellent power transfer, with flex introduced in the front end of the sole for long-ride comfort. An integrated vent can be opened and closed (with a cross head screwdriver), making the Sixty just at home in UK conditions as it is in the heat of Italy and ensuring four season comfort. The Tecno-4 closure system is remarkably advanced compared to the first rotor closure system Sidi designed back in 1988 and is the latest in Sidi’s all-Italian tech closure system. The mechanism consists of a single rotor to reduce the shoe’s weight, and ensures precise, micrometric closure. The release of the tension has been improved for faster closure and release. Like all Sidi shoes, this new Tecno-4 is replaceable if it is ever damaged while the same is true of the rubber heel pad. As well as rotor system, the Sixty also has a high-security Velcro strap across the front of the shoe featuring integrated teeth that lock together when the strap is closed, creating a more secure fit and taking the load. The Sixty’s upper is made from TechPro Microfibre. This innovative and eco-friendly leatherette offers durability, stability, and water-repellency. An anti-mould treatment helps fight the build-up of bacteria, whilst the upper’s Nylon mesh allows great breathability and creates an ideal microclimate inside the shoe for all day comfort. There are also Velcro tabs on the inside to keep the tongue perfectly in place. The heel is a fully integrated design, which has been reinforced to avoid deformations under prolonged use and provide extra support. Anatomically shaped, the heel stabilises the foot and helps prevent heel slip – essential for those tougher climbs, sprints and efforts. A Reflex insert provides greater safety by helping signal your presence to other road users in poor visibility. The Sixty embodies Sidi’s illustrious history and pedigree, whilst being ideal for the demands of modern-day riding and racing. These shoes represent Sidi’s ceaseless drive to provide and create the ultimate in road shoe design, providing you with beautiful style as well as performance. Key Features: New model to mark Sidi’s 60th anniversary. TechPro upper Tecno-4 closure system High security Velcro strap Full 3k carbon Vent sole Handmade in Italy

From the outset of the Torch 3.0 Road shoe design process, our goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe. The challenge, however, was pulling this off at a palatable price.In order to achieve this, we utilized three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together—TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup, meanwhile, lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible. This refined upper is combined with our legendary FACT carbon fibre sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer. Finally, we topped the Torch 3.0 off with two Boa® S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure, and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.Key Features:Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.,FACT™ carbon composite sole and torsion box construction is directionally rigid for outstanding power transfer: Stiffness Index 8.5.,Dual Boa® S2-SV Snap dial closure for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the Boa® Lifetime Guarantee.,Mesh, TPU, and synthetic layer upper are placed in specific zones for comfort and lock-down, and are thermobonded for a superior fit.,Standard Fit for support and all-day comfort.,Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.,Approximate weight: 248g (1/2 pair, Size 42).
