From winning sprints and TT's, to rolling gran fondo and gentlemen's rides, the Empire™ keeps the foot secure and supported with a one-piece Tejin upper, SuperNatural Fit footbed and an injection-molded heel cup. Maximum power comes from our premium Easton EC90 unidirectional carbon outsole that delivers maximum power transfer with minimal weight.
