The sole thickness of less than two millimetres enables a direct connection to the pedal. The revised ventilation system with strategically placed perforations is designed to ensure effective air circulation and keep feet cool even at high temperatures or under intense strain. The BOA Li2 fastening system with cotton lacing guides allows precise adjustments to the fit and should ensure lasting comfort even on long rides. The universal compatibility with various click systems offers flexibility in the choice of pedals.
