Sidi Tiger 2 SRS DZero MTB Shoes

The Sidi MTB Tiger 2 SRS DZero is designed for mountain bikers who are looking to generate some serious power and speed out on the trails and in the bike park. Decorated with five phrases commonly used by Dino Signori, it celebrates Sidi's history and family feel while pairing essential MTB features with new eco-friendly materials.

The green credentials of this shoe include an upper made from recycled microfibre and finished with cereal-derived Bio Based resins, an insole made from 95% recycled PU, resulting in less CO2 production, and packaging made with recycled paper and corn starch glue. There are also small areas of mesh at the toe and around the heel, made from microfibre bio veg and designed to work in tandem with the perforations in the upper to release heat as you shred the trails.

Its features, meanwhile, are tried and tested Castelli staples. The upper is cinched in using the same system as found in the Tiger 2 MTB Shoes, a pair of replaceable Tecno-3 Push Flex dials located on the tongue that will ensure an even fit across the whole foot. The little red button will raise the lever when pressed, making the fit easy to adjust mid-ride.

Your heel, meanwhile, will be held in place by the reflective integrated heel and adjustable heel retention device, also found in the Tiger 2. The former is a light, anatomically shaped cup that supports the heel and keeps it in place on the roughest trails, while the latter is a replaceable, adjustable mechanism that can be tightened to cradle it.

The hardiness of this shoe is enhanced by a tough, non-slip rubber covering over the toes that protects against the inevitable debris and obstacles that you'll meet charging the trails.

Finally, this special shoe incorporates Sidi's super-rigid and hardy MTB SRS Carbon-Ground Sole, which transfers power to the pedals beautifully thanks to its pure carbon base, giving you the wattage you'll need to tackle uphills and successfully attack competitors during competition.

Replaceable inserts in the heel and toe offer enough texture to optimise your grip on muddy surfaces, while giving you the option to swap in crampons to give you an edge on the slickest, most technical trails. Meanwhile, a replaceable plate on the sole will help prevent damage by pedal contact, or swop out if such a thing occurs.

The MTB Tiger 2 SRS DZero is a stylish MTB offering from a brand that never prioritises looks over function and resilience. It is big on power and can spring the perfect attack.
