Louis Garneau introduces the Carbon X-Lite Road Shoe
Louis Garneau introduces the Carbon X-Lite, a new innovative lightweight road cycling shoe, developed with innovative design technology.
In an effort to drastically reduce the weight, the new Carbon X-Lite is feather lightweight with the power transfer needed by competitive cyclists. The shoe weighs in at an amazing 196 grams, the lightest Louis Garneau cycling shoe to date.
“The new Carbon X-Lite will allow cyclists to better their cycling performance by reducing weight without sacrificing power,” said Pierre Perron, International Marketing Director. “We’ve stretched the limits of shoe technology and continue to push the boundaries. The Carbon X- Lite represents our continued evolution as an innovative cycling company.”
In order to reduce the weight, the Carbon X-Lite features a 100% Carbon Extralite outsole with the patented mutlivent system, lightened heel cup with anti-slip one-way stretch lycra, and a heel retention system to keep the foot in place during upstroke, seamless microfiber leather upper, and a new Coolmaxx Ergo Air insole. The Euro Fit shoe offers a glove-like fit and support needed. Side vents display the Venti X-Lite Socks which are packaged with the shoes. Yet, most appealing is the overall design and shelf appeal the shoe lends.
The Carbon X-Lite will be available in the U.S. beginning in November, 2009 with a suggested retail price of $280 USD.
