Designed for speed; power; and comfort; with on-the-fly BOA® micro-adjustability; a completely new forged carbon fiber 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 fiber outsole plate improves the stiffness by 20Nm while keeping the total weight of the shoe to a mere 220gm. With Giro’s signature clean style; the Imperial II is in a class of its own.

Features

• BOA® Li2 Dials - Dual BOA® Li2 closure with alloy dials delivers a sleek, low-profile design and unprecedented durability. With incremental micro-adjustability in both directions, the Li2 system ensures a precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.
• TPU Monofilament Mesh - One-piece woven TPU monofilament mesh upper locks in power with the highest levels of comfort and breathability, eliminating seams and enhancing performance.
• Unidirectional Forged Carbon Plate - Originally developed for motorsports, forged carbon can be molded into much more complex geometries than traditional carbon fiber composites, and is better suited to details such as thickness transitions, cleat bolt holes, and compound curvature. The Empire SLX II plate is 20Nm stiffer than the previous version.
• Supernatural Fit System - Our Supernatural Fit System includes footbed and adjustable arch support with Low, Medium, and High arch support chips. Adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common foot discomforts like numbness, hotspots, and cramping.
