Sidi Ergo 3 Speedplay Vent Carbon Vernice Cycling Shoes

The NEW Sidi Ergo 3 is the long awaited addition to Sidi portfolio that has somehow managed to take an already outstanding Ergo 2 and make it even better!

The 2012 Sidi Ergo 3 sees a NEW Carbon Vent sole that is lighter than the previous Carbon Lite Sole, a soft instep closure system, a redesigned adjustable heel retention device and Tecno II closure system that uses monofilament line and a fine tooth ratchet for even better comfort and fit.

The Ergo 3 has been designed with the high performance rider in mind and is aimed at the cyclists who demand a lightweight, stiff and technologically advanced shoe that will match their aspirations and exceed their expectations. Just look at the Pro Peloton this year and you'll understand why the Sidi Ergo 3 is THE choice for the serious cyclist!

This version of the Ergo 3 has been specifically designed to be compatible with Speedplay pedals,

Key Features:

• New Vent Carbon Sole has been specifically designed and developed by SIDI's in house engineering team. It is lighter than the previous Carbon Lite Sole, but still offers a stiff sole without compromising the circulation flow of blood to your foot.
• The Vent sole has been designed to give a light flex towards the nose of the shoe without losing any stiffness throughout the rest of the shoe body. Maximum power transfer and comfort are therefore guaranteed.
• There is a vent at the very top of the sole which while open, offers you some welcome ventilation when the heat is on. You have the option to keep this open or closed, depending on the conditions.
• Sidi have modified the removable insole and footbed to allow the flow of air through predisposed channels until it exits through an open exhaust near the middle of the shoe.
• Loricia upper is hard wearing and designed to be resistant to tearing, splitting, and atmospheric agents to help increase durability.
• The breathable Nylon mesh panels make sure that the shoe is comfortable even in scorching conditions or on the most punishing of mountain ascents.
• The Ergo 3's have four different closure systems offering you a multitude of options for comfort and adjustable fit wherever you are and however you ride.
• The Sidi Caliper buckle has a micrometric closure system which means that you can adjust the fit whilst on the fly. Great for mid race/ride adjustments that don't require a café stop!
• The soft instep 2 closure strap is placed neatly over the top of your foot and offers evenly distributed pressure over your arch. This is adjustable from both sides to make sure you get it perfectly set up for your foot and it eliminates the need for a high instep extender. The soft and thermo-formed material just adds to the comfort, without compromising performance.
• The Techno-II buckle uses a monofilament line and a fine-tooth ratchet for smooth adjustment and even pressure distribution. This allows frontal micrometric closure and adapts the upper of the shoe to the shape of your foot for a customised fit. If this wasn't enough, the Tecno-II system can be easily replaced and serviced.
• The last piece in the jigsaw is a high security Velcro strap with integrated locking polymer teeth that engage onto each other when the strap is closed. This feature makes the closure more secure and the strap becomes unmoveable.
• There is a redesign of the heel retention device for 2012 and this reinforces the top of the heel cup and improves the fit by closing the back of the shoe securely around your ankle. In simple terms, it tightens the top of the heel cup so that it doesn't side-out during steep climbs or sprints.
• The reinforced Sidi heel cup keeps the foot in an optimal position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure. When you put the power down, you know you're in control.
• There is a replaceable polyurethane heel pad to help you walk around when you're making those all important café stops, or stepping up onto the podium!
• The Vent Carbon Sole has been specifically designed to be compatible with Speedplay pedals.
• Comes with a lightweight Sidi Shoe bag.
• Weight: 310g (EU42 - PBK Office scales).
