Shoes Sidi Ergo 2 Carbon Lite Vernice version 2010 derived from Sidi Ergo 2 Carbon which differ in some technical detail and aesthetic. From the aesthetic point of view changes the surface finish of the upper, now perfectly polished and smooth (hence the name Vernice), available in black, white, red, blue and white/red. The sole is carbon fiber, 20 grams lighter than its predecessor (hence the name Lite), this evolution has been used for a different type of carbon-derived aircraft, which led to an improvement in the stiffness of the sole and a its reduction in weight. The sole is ready to host the most popular types of cleats and the ability to memorize the position of cleats Look; there a well-printed references for the correct positioning of the same cleats. The rear sight is interchangeable, also is also a heel tip to better preserve the sole. The upper is in micro fiber Vernice, a gloss uppers that slips off the dirt and makes cleaning easier, which occurs with mild soap and water, while it is preferable not to use alcohol or detergents that losing shine to the upper. Different networking perforated to enhance breathability. The heel is reinforced and made of thermoforming materials, has a regulation system that allows, by means of two screws, tighten the shoe heel so that unwanted movement of the heel itself. The weir is entrusted to three straps: the first is equipped with Velcro fastenings Sidi consisting of a set of teeth that are joined to each other by improving the tightness of the Velcro. The second is equipped with closed rotor Sidi Tecno 2 System and the third has a ratchet closure and anatomically thermoformed strap and padded so as to distribute eight on the instep closure force.

Road test
Sidi Ergon 2 Carbon Lite Vernice, are really well done and hits the polished finish of the shoe, which gives it a sense of very high quality. It's actually a shoe perfectly implemented and is hard to find a weakness, well-stitched upper and fixed to the sole, interior care, soil perfectly, even the reference points for the cleats are well positioned and precise in their press. Excellent also the envelope of the pocket door shoes and good weight, even though the shoes are certainly very slight. Excellent the cleat interchangeable soft rubber that sticks firmly to the ground, and easy mounting of cleats, good memory for Look cleats. The fit is good and the inside soft and the softness of the uppers allow a high comfort level. Easy to adjust the closing of the heel and easy closure of straps, fully adjustable in the saddle. The moving appreciate the excellent stiffness of the new sole, one of the best features of this shoe. The high stiffness of the sole allows smooth transmission of power and is able to satisfy even the strongest athletes and din every condition. The closure of the shoe is still very effective and allows the foot to the shoe, allowing round and effective workout, with the foot remains firmly in phase traction. Positive that even closing strong shoe comfort remains at high values. Good breathability, even if it is one of the virtues of this model, however, sufficient to ensure good aeration of the foot. The containment system of the heel is very effective, so it further improves the stability of the foot and pedalling efficiency. Only on very long distances and with some very fine stockings may feel a slight discomfort in the heel area when adjusting very close to closure. A small annoyance but it is amply rewarded by the efficient solution. The most sensitive can remedy the problem by adopting thicker socks or less closely by adjusting the conformation of the thermoformed heel. Also the content side of the foot that is more effective and combined with the stiffness of the sole of the foot and minimum general leads to good performance of the shoe for fast and boost for those who love the action on the pedals, with a perfect transfer of power. General comfort, even over long distances is more than good and so tourists can find the shoe competitive and viable. In short a perfect model, with no obvious flaws, born to the most demanding athletes and that they turn with top performance in terms of stiffness of the sole of the foot and containment. The cyclists tourist will enjoy the high comfort of the upper, the practicality of the system of closure and the general comfort over long distances. The price is about 310 Euro, proportional to the quality of the model, but unfortunately high in absolute terms.
