The Imperial II delivers every feature the fastest racers demand. Secure, micro-adjustability on the fly comes from a BOA Fit System featuring Dual Li2 Dials. An all-new flat knitted Synchwire upper serves up the highest levels of comfort and breathability, courtesy of an unique knitted mesh construction which integrates venting and adds durability via a thermally bonded TPU skin. A completely new forged carbon fiber outsole plate improves the stiffness by 2Nm while keeping the total weight of the shoe to a mere 22gm. With Giro's signature clean style, the Imperial II is in a class of its own.

All-new forged carbon outsole combines with redesigned hyper-breathable Synchwire upper and BOA Fit System featuring Dual Li2 Dials for ultimate performance.

Key Features:

• Dual BOA® Li2 closure with alloy dials delivers a sleek, low‐profile design and unprecedented durability. With incremental micro‐adjustability in both directions, the Li2 system ensures a precision fit engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.
• Originally developed for motorsports, forged carbon can be molded into much more complex geometries than traditional carbon fiber composites, and better suited to details such as thickness transitions, cleat bolt holes, and compound curvature. The Imperial II plate is 20Nm stiffer than the previous version.
• One‐piece woven TPU monofilament mesh upper locks in power with the highest levels of comfort and breathability, eliminating seams and enhancing performance.
• Our Supernatural Fit System includes footbead and adjustable arch support with Low, Medium, and High arch support chips. Adjust arch support to enhance fit and pedaling efficiency while reducing the chances of common foot discomforts like numbness, hotspots, and cramping.
