Sidi Genius 6.6 Carbon Lite Vernice

Closure Systems:
The Genius 6.6 has 3 closure mechanisms for a completely secure, comfortable and adjustable fit no matter how hard you ride.

• Sidi Caliper Buckle With Soft instep Closure: The Sidi calliper buckle offers fast and convenient micrometric closure that can be adjusted on the fly, even whilst riding. The soft instep closure system can be adjusted to accommodate a high or a low instep without the use of an extender kit. It has a wide, padded strap that distributes pressure evenly over the arch area and is adjustable from both sides for perfect alignment. The calliper buckle and strap are serviceable and available as spares.

• 2 High Security Velcro Straps: High security Velcro has integrated strips of locking polymer teeth that engage with each other when the strap is closed for a totally secure fit and a longer lifespan.

• Heel Retention Device: The adjustable heel retention device has been redesigned for 2012. It reinforces the top of the heel cup and improves fit by closing the back of the shoe more securely around the ankle so that it doesn't slip during steep climbs or sprints. It can be adjusted with two small screws that tighten independently. The heel retention device is great for high milage rides when numbess becomes a problem as it allows you to loosen the front closures for better circulation and feeling.

Carbon Lite Sole
Sidi developed and refined the carbon lite sole to meet the needs of pro cyclists riding high mileages at high intensities. The innovative carbon lay-up uses composite materials configured to maximise resistance to stress and minimize weight and thickness.
The Carbon Lite Sole is constructed to provide a small amount of flex in the toe while retaining excellent stiffness throughout the body of the shoe, this ensures optimum rigidity and power transfer without compromising blood circulation for long term comfort and performance.
For walkability, the Carbon Lite Sole includes an anti-slip insert at the toe and a replaceable heel pad. A 10mm horizontal and vertical cleat alignment scale is moulded into the sole as well as a Look Memory Eyelet for accurate cleat replacement every time.
