The “politex” material is constructed of several overlapping layers with different physical-mechanical properties, the compacted PVC is then coupled to two fabrics (knitted fabric + felt) that is then is film dyed for long-lasting color retention. “Politex” offers strong resistance to ripping, laceration, stretching and fading. “Politex” is made in strict compliance with European regulations and is a totally “green” product.SIDI’s TECHNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. SIDI’s famously reliable and replaceable closures are improved by an all new proprietary SIDI Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless on-the-fly adjustments. Like most SIDI small parts, the TECNO-3 BUCKLE is serviceable and replaceable.The reinforced heel keeps the foot in a optimal position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure.For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad.The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE features injected carbon fiber in a matrix of Nylon, providing more rigidity than a standard nylon sole. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE is also more durable, completely non water-absorbent and mechanically stable, meaning it’s less susceptible to changes in stiffness resulting from aging, prolonged usage, and changes in temperature or humidity. An anti-slip toe insert and replaceable polyurethane heel pad are incorporated into the MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE, for walkability. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE uses a standard 3-hole drilling pattern for compatibility with the best pedal systems available, and includes a printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale on the sole as well as the Look Memory Eyelet for easy cleat alignment and replacement.

The Sidi Alba 2 Road Cycling Shoe is a refined and highly durable shoe for the more discerning rider. Showing many trickledown features from Sidi’s road shoe line up, the Alba 2 offers premium performance at an entry-level price point. The Alba 2 is a high-performance shoe in its own right, ideal if you’re new to road cycling or simply wanting to save your race day shoes for the best occasions.The upper of the Alba 2 is made from Politex, a compacted PVC compound that is paired with a knitted fabric and felt. This combination of materials and construction means Politex is highly resistant to ripping, tearing and stretching, making the Alba 2 a long-lasting partner for long days in the saddle in British conditions. The Politex upper is made of few panels to reduce seams and, along with the narrow Velcro straps, help create the Alba 2’s sleek appearance, which looks every bit as professional as the many Sidi shoes worn in the World Tour peloton.The Millennium 4 Carbon Composite sole has also been designed with durability in mind. The sole consists of a Nylon matrix that has been injected with carbon fibre, leading to a rigid sole that is non water-absorbent, and will withstand long, wet days in the saddle. A guide on the sole aids easy cleat installation and alignment for three-bolt cleats, and a replaceable heel pad improves walkability and the shoe’s longevity.Comfort and fit are central to the Alba 2’s design. The Tecno-3 System dial allows you to easily adjust the fit of the shoe, even on the move. The dial is paired with the Soft Instep Closure system – a wide, anatomically shaped EVA thermo-formed pad that disperses pressure evenly across the top of the foot – and also gives that iconic Sidi look. The position of the Soft Instep closure system is also adjustable, so you can fine tune the fit in accordance with the shape of your foot.Sidi’s reinforced heel cup ensures even greater comfort and support, whilst improving power transfer and providing extra protection should you come off your bike.Key FeaturesTecno-3 System dial,Soft instep closure system,Politex upper,Millennium 4 Carbon composite sole,Replaceable heel pad,Sidi heel cup.
Named after a brutal 4 mile, 1800ft climb called Alba Road in Santa Cruz, California, the Praxis Works Alba X crankset is designed to laugh in the face of such climbs, with an excellent range of gearing options & lightweight construction all without a heavy weight price.Lightweight solid forged arms are incredibly stiff for efficient power transferM30 spindle is compatible with BSA, BB86, 386EVO, BB30, PF30, T47, BBRight & OSBB bottom bracket shells BB's sold separately10/11spd LevaTime II chainrings are cold forged for supreme shift quality & durabilityVersatile modular design can accept 2x or 1x DM chainringsLightweight at just 800g (170mm w/ 50/34T Chainrings)Where most cranksets can only be fitted with a small selection of chainrings, the Alba X is designed with versatility in mind. While equipped with 2x chainrings as standard, the direct mount design can easily be swapped out for a 1x chainring or another 2x combination in a different ratio. Praxis wants you to have control. Add in to this compatibility with pretty much any bottom bracket shell on the market when used with the appropriate bottom bracket, and you have an incredibly versatile crankset that is happy to grace lightweight carbon race bikes or tough steel gravel bikes. The crankarms themselves are solid forged, which gives them immense strength and stiffness, so you can be sure every watt of power your legs can muster isn't wasn't with flex. Despite this, the crankset is extremely light at just 800g. The M30 spindle also helps to keep weight low and stiffness high.Whereas most chainrings are stamped or machined pieces of aluminium, the Alba X's chainrings are cold forged from 7075 T6 aluminium and then hard anodized. This unique method creates chainrings that are just as light, but are much, much harder wearing and provide slicker shifting for longer. Further improving the shifting performance is Praxis Works LevaTime II Shifting Technology. LevaTime II Shifting boasts a series of synchronised ramps and strategically placed shift pins to help deliver perfecting every time. Lightweight, stiff, smooth shifting and extremely versatile, the Praxis Works Alba X crankset is perfect for riders who want maximum performance without breaking the bank.
