#Gaerne g chrono plus review update

First up we’ve got a shoe manufacturer that offers everything: fully heat moldable soles, a wide fitting option, and the choice of either 3-bolt or a Speedplay sole, plus also offer a customisation option as well. The colors are again the same: high vis yellow, blue, black & white for men, and white & black for women.So let’s have a look at the best cycling shoes currently on the market. For 260€ the G.Kobra+ shoes use a glass fiber reinforced nylon sole with a dual compound rubber tread that is actually more grippy. The women-specific last again gets fewer options, this time going for the 260€ reinforced nylon sole. For 300€ you get the Carbon G.Kobra+ with the lightest, stiffest carbon sole and single compound soft lugs. They also get effectively the same options by way of soles. Like the Sincros, they also add a small toe bumper and compatibility with screw-in toe spikes. The mountain bike oriented Kobras carry over all of the same tech, since they are the same shoes just with a different outsole. The Chronos come in high vis yellow, blue, black & white for men, and white & black for women. The men also get the option for direct Speedplay compatibility for the same price in the Speedplay Carbon G.Chrono+īringing the price down to 260€, Gaerne offers the Composite Carbon G.Chrono+ for men only with, you guessed it, a new lightweight that mixes an overall nylon construction with a carbon reinforced center section under the pedal, metatarsus & arch areas for a balance of comfort and stiffness. For 300€ you can get the same lightweight full-carbon sole as the more expensive top shoes as the Carbon G.Chrono+ in either lasts for men or women. Making up for the down grade in dial closures, the Chrono+ gets even more options in the sole. They do get similar construction with a laser-perforated synthetic upper, the reinforced structured vent on the side of the shoe, and a supportive heel cup. Also the mid foot dial gets four dial guides for precise adjustment like the pricier shoe, but these get just a single loop of two guides for less fine adjustment around the ankle as is standard on most other shoes. They still offer the same side-specific operation (turn forward to tighten), but you can’t turn these back to micro-loosen instead they just get turn to release. First off these shoes go with a pair of the more affordable L6 Boa dials. The wire is also where the Chrono/Kobra differ most from the Stilo/Sincro. With that they drop the lower velcro strap in favor of a simple wired Boa closure system. The + signs in both names signal the same overhaul as found on their top shoes at the end of last year. Plus with women’s versions of both, they deliver premium full-carbon sole performance at competitive pricing… The prices still aren’t down that much, with a change in which BOA dials were spec’d and how they are laid out, plus even more sole options, Gaerne is offering a lot more choice for buyers.
