Giro – Factor Techlace Black on White – 50%Off

For a shoe weighing in at 210 grams (depending on size), or about 7.5 ounces, the Giro Factor Techlace is remarkably stiff providing outstanding power transfer from the fore and midfoot. With out-of-the-saddle efforts, applying full torque, there was no discernible twist or flex, yet other shoes we tested are stiffer. The Easton EC90 SLX2 carbon sole is what provides this rigidity, and it functions superbly. When out of the saddle with full effort, the shoe is both feather-light, and invisible to the rider, just melding into the cranks for optimum and reliable stiffness, this is despite the depth of the sole (stack height of 4.3 mm, which is mid of the pack for high-end shoes).
