Stiffness is a must when we're searching for new mountain bike shoes, and Sidi has never been a brand to waiver when it comes to the watts. The Trace 2 is no different, as it offers a reliable sole that won't waste your energy on flex, and supple uppers that gently hug your foot in place for support through long miles and punchy climbs.
Sidi's coveted MTB kicks come back for a second generation
Politex material combines three layers for supple support on uppers
Soft Instep closure system prevents numbing pressure to top of foot
Dial in a flawless fit with Sidi's Techno 3 boa system
Reinforced heel cup keeps foot in optimal position
SR17 sole is light, stiff, and supportive
SR17 SOLE
Lighter and more performing the new Sidi MTB sole is made of nylon with PU (polyurethane) inserts. The shape of the sole tread has been specifically designed for mountain bike, it allows a good grip, facilitates mud dispersion and provides the
right stability. The central insert with the Sidi logo works as non-slip and it is practical and useful especially to the less experienced users. The toe area that is more subject to wear, especially when walking, can be replaced by screws and still offers
the possibility to mount crampons to improve traction on particularly muddy grounds. SR17 represents the ultimate result in terms of stiffness for pedaling and flexion for walking.
TECNO-3 SYSTEM
SIDI’s TECHNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe,
adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. SIDI’s famously
reliable and replaceable closures are improved by an all new proprietary SIDI
Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless onthe-
fly adjustments. Like most SIDI small parts, the TECNO-3 SYSTEM is
serviceable and replaceable.
SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM
The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is a wide, anatomically curved strap
combined with a soft, thermo-formed EVA pad that distributes pressure evenly
over the instep area. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is adjustable from
both sides, to perfectly center the EVA pad over a high or low instep. The system
eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE
SYSTEM is replaceable.
SIDI HEEL CUP
Reinforced cup that stabilizes and supports the heel. Anatomically shaped
plastic, reduces heel slip and provides increased power transfer. Provides
additional foot protection in the event of a crash.
