Racing soul
We have seen them at the feet of the pros on several occasions already. This year that Van Rysel joins the WorldTour team Cofidis We are noticing them more and more often in groups.

Sole and closure
To determine a top-of-the-range shoe there are some essential standards that Van Rysel certainly did not shy away from. The first of these is the 100% carbon sole Made in ItalyA component that enhances the shoe and makes it extremely rigid, capable of transferring all the power expressed on the pedal in the best possible way. They are also two eyelets for optimal ventilation which lets air in and out in the lower part.
Another key element is the locking system. For this model, a locking system has been implemented micrometric double rotor system with four cable passages.
