Designed for speed, power, and comfort, with on-the-fly BOA micro-adjustability, a completely new forged carbon fibre outsole plate, and an all-new flat Synchwire upper. With Giro's signature clean style, the Imperial II is in a class of its own.
The Imperial II delivers every feature the fastest racers demand. Secure, micro-adjustability on the fly comes from a twin BOA Li2 closure with alloy dials. An all-new flat knitted Synchwire upper serves up the highest levels of comfort and breathability, courtesy of an unique knitted mesh construction which integrates venting and adds durability via a thermally bonded TPU skin. A completely new forged carbon fibre outsole plate improves the stiffness by 20Nm while keeping the total weight of the shoe to a mere 235 gm (Size 43). With Giro's signature clean style, the Imperial II is in a class of its own.
