Details
THE EMPIRE VR70 KNIT MOUNTAIN BIKE SHOE FEATURES OUR NEW ENGINEERED XNETIC KNIT UPPER, WHICH OFFERS UNPARALLELED COMFORT AND BREATHABILITY, WITH A BONDED TPU EXOSKELETAL SYSTEM TO PROVIDE SUPPORT WHERE YOU NEED IT.
The upper is DWR-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning, while a rubber toe guard and bonded TPU heel increase durability and abrasion resistance. A closed stretch-knit ankle cuff provides superior comfort, additional support and protection from scree out on the trail. All of this is built on top of a stout Easton® EC70 carbon fiber sole that offers pro-level stiffness, and a tough, molded Vibram® rubber outsole that provides protection and grip when you're off the bike.

Features
EASTON® CARBON COMPOSITE OUTSOLE
Unidirectional carbon fiber outsole is engineered to provide a direct connection with the pedal, thanks to class-leading stiffness that puts full effort into forward motion
SuperNatural Fit Kit Footbed
The Giro SuperNatural Fit System includes an adjustable arch support kit with Low, Medium and High arch supports. You can adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common discomforts like hotspots, numbness and cramping. The system is available in men's and women's sizes, and incorporates X-Static® fibers in the footbed to fight odors and other bacteria.
VIBRAM®
Vibram® is the world leader in high performance rubber soles, with technologically advanced compounds like IdroGrip, the stickest moldable compound in the Vibram arsenal and developed specifically for flatpedal riding in dry and wet conditions: and Megagrip, a high performance sticky compound with significantly more durability and only a minimal decrease in friction compared to IdroGrip. All Vibram soles are produced with three objectives: to guarantee the best performance, the maximum level of comfort and quality over time.
LACED CLOSURE
Laces are the original fit system, and for many people the benefits of laces are unmatched. In addition to infinite adjustability and the capability of a laced upper to conform to each zone of the foot, laces offer easy replacement and customization, a more natural feel across the foot and reliability in even the most adverse conditions.
XNETIC™
Xnetic Knit features a TPU skeletal system bonded to a knit material, providing support where you need it while the knit offers suppleness and breathability, for sock-like comfort and superb ventilation. Xnetic Knit is also DWR-treated for water repellency and easy cleaning, and reinforced with rubber or TPU toe / heel guards to enhance abrasion resistance and durability.
