![]() Nailing fit, form and function for this price is to be applauded and deliver high end like performance for a fraction of the cost. ValueĪt the £150 mark, it would be easy to assume that the Cube RD Sydrix Pro shoes are at the upper end of the gateway road shoe market, but you'd be wrong. The ability to pop on varying weights of overshoe to extend their season will be a big draw for many. For me, they were perfect for late summer and early autumn riding in the UK. With little venting just around the toe box area, some riders might find these pretty warm in hotter climes. ![]() Larger sizes/ heavier riders might notice a slight flex, but in a blind shoe test, I don't think I would have been able to detect the lack of carbon, with no discernible flex even climbing out the saddle. The soles of the Cube RD Sydrix Pro shoes is more than stiff enough. Of course, everyone's feet are different and need differing levels of support but after a few wears in I would have to say I'm finding these shoes completely suit my foot shape. Cube uses what it calls a Natural Fit philosophy for the innersoles, designing them deliberately without arch support as it's data shows that most foot postures benefit from neutral ergonomic soles. The incredibly comfortable fit all round, and that just the one closure dial was indeed sufficient to keep my foot stable and rooted. The rideĪs soon as I slipped the Cube RD Sydrix Pro shoes on, two things stood out. Wahoo has nine teams using its Elemnt bike computers, beating out Garmin on. Just having the one dial has enabled the shoe to win the weight watchers competition, saving a few grams over its more expensive sibling, with the EU size 39 coming in at 234g per shoe on my scales. Two teams each roll on Corima, Vision and Roval wheels, while one team each is using Bontrager, Zipp and Newmen. The cable based retention system is perfect for a precision fit, and easy to adjust on the move, a pet hate of mine about lace-up cycling shoes. ![]() Naturally, it's not as supple as leather counterparts, but its firmness creates a secure grasp of my foot, without being overly compressive or developing pinch points.Ĭlosing the Cube RD Sydrix Pro shoes is the Boa-like ATop dial. On top of the sole sits a man-made upper.
