The Alba 2 shoes from the brand Sidi are cycling shoes. The Alba 2 are built with several Sidi technologies, including the Tecno-3 closure system, which allows for optimal closure and adjustment. Their carbon sole, Millenium 4 Carbon Composite Sole, provides additional stiffness to the Alba 2.
- Upper: Politex
- Sole: Millenium 4 Carbon Composite Sole: injection of carbon fibers into a nylon matrix. This makes the sole stiffer than a standard nylon sole
- Politex: The "politex" material is made up of several overlapping layers with different physical and mechanical properties. The compacted PVC is then coupled with two fabrics (knit + felt) which are then film-dyed for long-lasting color retention. "Politex" offers strong resistance to tearing, laceration, stretching, and fading
- Tecno-3 System: a dial along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. Sidi's reliable and replaceable closures are enhanced by an all-new proprietary Sidi Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless adjustments on the fly. Like most small Sidi parts, the Tecno-3 buckle is replaceable.
- Sidi Heel Cup: the reinforced heel keeps the foot in an optimal position and prevents the shoe from being deformed by prolonged pressure
- Replaceable Heel Pad: a pad under the heel that improves walking comfort. Easily replaceable
- Runs small: one size up recommended
