According to the product specialist
Pros
| The rigid carbon offers ample power transfer. |
| Easily and quickly adjusted using the SLW2 dial and a velcro strap. |
| Better breathability and less pressure points on the foot thanks to the asymmetrical wire in the adjustment system. |
| Excellent fit due to the new X-Dial SLW3 fastening mechanism. |
| The NRG Air Carbon sole offers both comfort and good power transfer. |
| The AirFlow system provides an ideal airflow along the bottom of the shoe. |
| Thanks to the Unibody construction, there are no pressure points on the foot. |
| The ventilation holes across the shoe ensure good breathability. |
| The NRG Air Carbon sole combines comfort and optimal power transfer. |
| The Unibody construction prevents pressure points on the foot. |
| The shoe's ventilation holes offer good breathability. |
| The AirFlow system ensures ideal airflow along the sole. |
Cons
| Only one SLW2 dial which offers less exact adjustment. |
| With a full carbon sole, the power transfer to the pedals is even better than with this sole. |
| In order to use the shoe with SPD pedals, you will need a separate adapter. This does not come with the shoes as standard. |
| The power transmission of the sole is not as optimal as with a full carbon sole. |
| The closure of the shoe consists entirely of Velcro straps, which do not close as well when dirty. |
