An all-new carbon composite plate is co-molded with Giro's Sensor rubber outsole for a permanent bond that pairs with a lightweight, even more comfortable Teijin Evofiber upper.
The Empire SRC (Sensor rubber/carbon) builds on the success of the past but keeps the elements that made it loved by gravel riders and XC racers alike. Giro started with a more flexible Teijin microfiber upper with added suppleness that conforms for a glove-like but never-too-snug fit. Giro's new co-molded carbon composite and Sensor rubber outsole gives you plenty of grip off bike, power to the pedal and long-term durability. Dependable and easily replaceable laces allow you to fully customize your fit, while inside, Giro's Supernatural insole kit allows three choices of personalised arch support. High performance and classic, clean style for when things get dirty.
