The Empire SRC (Sensor Rubber Carbon) builds on the success of its predecessor but retains the elements that make it equally popular among 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 stages.
