The Empire SRC™ (Sensor™ Rubber Carbon) builds on the success of its predecessor while retaining the elements that make it popular among both gravel riders and XC racers. The flexible upper made of Teijin microfiber conforms to the foot like a second skin, while the permanently bonded carbon and Sensor Rubber outsole, created using a co-molding process, provides excellent grip and power on the pedal. The classic lace closure offers optimal adjustability, and with Giro's Supernatural footbed, the arch can be customized in three levels.
