The premium road shoe in Gaerne's range, the Carbon G. STL Road Cycling Shoes, here in sleek Gold Rush edition, come to life in the lung-busting speed and intensity of road races and during the most challenging training sessions. The lightweight microfibre upper wraps your foot snugly to provides excellent support when pedalling. Laser-perforations allow your feet to breathe and they contribute to maintaining a stable micro-climate inside. The Anatomic Heel Cup 1.0 has evolved to improve foot support and the anti-slip treatment prevents heel lift when you're pedalling. The heel cup works alongside the Tarsal Support System 1.0. Standing for "Tarsal Support System", this maintains the ideal foot position within the shoe, allowing for an efficient pedal stroke and unmatched power transmission. You also benefit from the EPS Comfort insole. The anatomical shape offers support and comfort, while perforations are used to regulate temperature.

Compared to the previous generation, this sole unit now has 9mm more cleat adjustment, letting you get your cleat position just right. Four-air vents guarantee excellent airflow to the foot and anti-slip inserts at the toe and an interchangeable pad in the rear makes it easier to walk when you're off the bike. BOA Dial Brilliance To customise the fit and feel of the shoes, you'll enjoy the use of the proven Boa Li2 system. This system allows precise adjustment and a uniform fit across the foot while removing any pressure points. Twist. Adjust. Ride. And because the 'lacing' is so minimal, it allows for greater air circulation and hence greater comfort. Boa Technology also guarantees the reels and the cables of the BOA closing system for the entire useful life of the product. The BOA dials work with the InFit Closure System. This gives a total of eight fixing zones through which the Boa laces run. This ensures a smooth application of pressure, spread across your whole foot.

Taking their outstanding RS and RSR Bib Shorts S9, Assos have made changes to fabrics to maintain the fabulous comfort but deliver extra helpings of ventilation alongside a reduction in weight. For hot summer days spent tackling alpine ascents or the demands of intense indoor training sessions, they're the perfect pick. Low on weight. High on Ventilation. With fewer seams used in their construction and the use of ultralight and highly breathable materials, you'll enjoy greater comfort and fresher, cooler leg muscles when the mercury rises. The full-wrap Butterfly panel is carried over from the standard S9s but here super-light Breezer Tex is deployed. This woven fabric has a mesh-like structure, allowing for enhanced airflow inwards and outstanding breathability outwards. Other front and rear panels are made in OSSIDIA warp-knit material. This provides a firm compressive hold of your key muscle groups, and thanks to excellent abrasion resistance ensure excellent durability on the saddle. Meanwhile, the bib straps use a lighter elastic, reducing weight and minimising sweat absorption. A-Lock Engineering Assos apply the same S9 A-Lock Engineering for these Superléger shorts. This compromises a two-panel design made into a unique butterfly' panel design, snugly wrapping the legs and back to create a brand new ergoBox structure. This holds the insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and frictionless comfort no matter how intense your efforts. At the waist, raw-cut edges give a smooth transition between body and fabric, ensuring more comfort and less pressure. Raw-cut edges are also utilised at the leg openings, with minimal silicone grippers to keep your shorts in place with minimal weight and pressure. S9 SUNDECK Seat Insert An evolution of the EQUIPE RS insert, the S9 SUNDECK enjoys a reduction in weight for less bulk. Assos' whirlKrater system is also deployed. This uses strategically placed holes throughout the pad to boost airflow, creating a pad that minimises sweat absorption and boosts breathability. You'll also have the benefits of the standard RS pad. Shock-absorbing SuperAir microShock foam, in a 3D waffle design, is quick to return to its original form, filling gaps each time you shift weight and change position on the saddle. The waffle design meanwhile, sees the use of three-layer perforated foam to increases breathability and reduce bulk. And with goldenGate technology, the unique design allows a more natural irritation-free movement when pedalling.
A Classic in the Making Mixing cutting edge cycling technology with a timeless aesthetic and with Sidi's well-earned reputation for durability, the Sixty Road Shoes are an outstanding choice for the most demanding of cyclists. The upper benefits from being made from Sidi's TechPro Microfibre. This highly functional material is an eco-friendly leatherette offering a supple and comfortable fit while maintaining superb durability as well as offering water-resistance for damp days. Areas of nylon mesh provide a boost to breathability and airflow, ensuring your hot days on the bike don't leave your feet damp and uncomfortable. An anti-mould treatment also helps fight the build-up of bacteria, leaving your feet fresh, kilometre after kilometre. Tecno-4 closure system It was in 1988 that a rotor closure system first appeared on Sidi shoes and this style of closure has been a feature ever since. The very latest Tecno-4 closure system is, of course, leaps and bounds beyond that original system, offering a superbly precise adjustment of the fit. Smooth running wire laces pull evenly to apply just the right amount of pressure. The release of the tension has been improved for faster closure and release. Like all Sidi shoes, this new Tecno-4 is replaceable, allowing your shoes to last and last. As well as the Tecno-4 system, the Sixty makes use of high-security Velcro strap across the front of the shoe. With integrated teeth that lock together when the strap is closed, this system creates a secure fit while keeping weight low and ease of use high. Vent Carbon Sole The low weight and stiffness of the Vent Carbon Sole allow for high performing power transfers. Put the power down and revel in an instant reaction as you quickly get up to speed. The woven carbon fibre construction maximises the soles stiffness while allowing for a small degree of flex in the toes. This carefully honed flex biomechanically relieves stress on the plantar tendon and helps promote circulation. The sole is also designed with summer in mind, featuring an integrated vent and air channels to dissipate heat and improve airflow. A replaceable polyurethane heel pad and replaceable and adjustable front vent give your shoe excellent breathability and durability. Integrated Heel To the back of the shoe, the fully integrated heel system provides a secure fit and prevents deformation even during prolonged use. The anatomic shape hugs the heel area, preventing slippage when under load and stabilising the foot for a smooth pedal stroke. When making all-out efforts, sprints and hitting the climbs, this extra stability is essential. Lastly, a reflex insert provides greater safety by helping signal your presence to other road users in low light conditions. 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
