Key Features:

• Weight: 215 grams per shoe (size 42.5)
• Upper: One-piece Synchwire™ construction with thermally welded Teijin® elastomers for precise support and durability. Soft-Lace guides prevent pressure points.
• Closure: Twin Boa® IP1 twist closures with 1 mm +/- adjustability and gradual opening for a secure and personalized fit.
• Sole: Easton® EC90 SLX2 carbon fiber composite sole for optimal stiffness and power transfer. Includes a stainless steel insert and replaceable heel pad.
• Footbed: SuperNatural Fit Kit with adjustable arch support and XT2® anti-microbial fibers for enhanced comfort and hygiene.

Detailed Technology:

• Synchwire™ Technology: Seamless upper construction with ventilated and reinforced zones for lightweight performance, exceptional airflow, and shape retention. This advanced composite material features a thermofixed film for durability, an inner fleece for power distribution, and a monofilament mesh for optimal ventilation.
• Boa® Dial System: Provides quick and easy adjustment with precise 1mm increments. The cable cord and nylon guides eliminate stretch, offering a finer adjustment compared to traditional buckles. The macro release function allows for instant opening, and BOA® buckles come with a lifetime warranty against defects.
• Easton® EC90 SLX2 Carbon Sole: Engineered in collaboration with Easton to provide a direct and efficient connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. The sole is designed with ideal stiffness in the toe, arch, and heel zones, while maintaining a low weight and stack height. The flatter edges allow the upper to adapt to wider feet, preventing uncomfortable pinching.
• SuperNatural Fit Kit: Allows riders to customize arch support with low, medium, and high arch supports included in the kit. This improves fit, pedaling efficiency, and reduces common issues like hotspots, numbness, and cramping. The footbed includes X-Static® fibers to combat odors and bacteria.

The Giro Imperial delivers a race-ready feel from the first wear, offering a second-skin experience. The Synchwire™ shank construction, reinforced with thermally welded Teijin® elastomers (TPU), provides optimal structural support and resistance in critical areas. The Dual Boa IP1 closure system ensures even lacing and eliminates pressure points, adapting comfortably to the foot.
