An all-new carbon composite plate is co-molded with our Sensor rubber outsole for a permanent bond that pairs with a lightweight, even more comfortable Teijin® Evofiber™ upper.

An icon loved and celebrated, now new and improved

The Empire SRC™ (Sensor™ rubber/carbon) builds on the success of the past but keeps the elements that made it loved by gravel riders and XC racers alike. We started with a more flexible Teijin microfiber upper with added suppleness that conforms for a glove-like but never-too-snug fit. Our new co-molded carbon composite and Sensor rubber outsole gives you plenty of grip off bike, power to the pedal and long-term durability. Dependable and easily replaceable laces allow you to fully customize your fit, while inside, our Supernatural™ insole kit allows three choices of personalized arch support. High performance and classic, clean style for when things get dirty.
