Thanks to the seamless finish, the performance of the shoe is significantly improved, making it ideal for demanding bike tours and intensive training sessions"
"An outstanding feature of the Empire SLX II is the unidirectional Forged-Carbon plate, which was originally developed for motorsport. This innovative technology allows more complex shapes to be created than traditional carbon fiber composites, resulting in 20 Nm more stiffness compared to the previous version. This means improved efficiency when transferring power to the pedals, while the weight of the shoe remains at a feather-light 195 grams"

These customization options not only improve fit and pedaling efficiency, but also reduce the risk of foot discomfort such as numbness, pressure points and cramps. The Empire SLX II is the perfect choice for cyclists who don't want to compromise on comfort and performance"
