Premium TEIJIN® Samo™ Breathable Microfiber Upper

Super Natural Fit System
The Giro SuperNatural Fit System has an adjustable arch support with low, medium and high support. When the arch support is adjusted, fit and pedaling efficiency are improved while reducing the risk of chafing, numbness and cramps.
EASTON® EC90™ SLX2 Carbon Outsole
Giro teamed up with engineers at Easton® to develop outsoles that provide direct and powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. With advanced modeling and laboratory testing, each outsole is engineered for perfect stiffness in the three zones of the foot; toe, arch and heel – combined with the lowest possible weight and height (as low as 6,5mm).
