What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These shoes are great for everything from casual trail rides to big XC days. The fit is supportive without feeling stiff, and the nylon sole transfers power really well. I especially like how the mesh panels keep my feet cool, even on long climbs in warm weather."From dusty singletrack to root-laced climbs, the Giro Carbide Rii Bike Shoes help us stay connected to the pedals and ready for anything the trail throws our way. Designed for cross-country riding and rugged backcountry miles, these shoes blend a breathable synthetic upper with mesh panels that keep airflow moving when the temps rise. A co-molded nylon and rubber outsole provides confident grip on hike-a-bike sections, while a stout injected nylon sole delivers efficient power transfer when it’s time to put down the watts. Three wide straps make it easy to dial in a secure fit on the fly, and the die-cut EVA footbed cushions every pedal stroke. Lightweight, versatile, and trail-ready, the Carbide Rii is the perfect partner for off-road exploration.
