Easton Engineered Outsole Plates –  worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in their extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm).

Supernatural Fit Sytem – A superb fit, with adjustable arch support to help optimize comfort and enhance pedaling efficiency.

Premium Teijin Samo Breathable Microfiber Upper – Teijin microfiber is widely considered to be the world’s finest. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration.

X-Static – X-Static is a fiber made with a layer of pure silver, which is permanently bonded to the surface of a textile fiber. It is an antimicrobial fiber that is 100% natural that helps reduce odor and regulate heat.
