Closure Systems:
Dargon 3s have 4 separate closure mechanisms for a completely secure, comfortable and adjustable fit no matter how hard you ride.

• Sidi Caliper Buckle With Soft instep Closure: The Sidi calliper buckle offers fast and convenient micrometric closure that can be adjusted on the fly, even whilst riding. The soft instep closure system can be adjusted to accommodate a high or a low instep without the use of an extender kit. It has a wide, padded strap that distributes pressure evenly over the arch area and is adjustable from both sides for perfect alignment. The calliper buckle and strap are serviceable and available as spares.

• Tecno II Buckle: The Tecno II buckle uses monofilament line and a fine tooth ratchet for smooth adjustment and even pressure distribution. It gives precise, micrometric closure and adapts the upper part of the shoe to the shape of the foot for a customised fit.

• High Security Velcro Straps: High security Velcro has integrated strips of locking polymer teeth that engage with each other when the strap is closed for a totally secure fit and a longer lifespan.

• Heel Retention Device: The adjustable heel retention device has been redesigned for 2012. It reinforces the top of the heel cup and improves fit by closing the back of the shoe more securely around the ankle so that it doesn't slip during steep climbs or sprints. It can be adjusted with two small screws that tighten independently. The heel retention device is great for high milage rides when numbess becomes a problem as it allows you to loosen the front closures for better circulation and feeling.

MTB SRS Carbon Sole
The revolutionary MTB SRS Carbon Sole is the ultimate sole for the high-performance, high-mileage off-road cyclist. The heart of this sole is a pure carbon insert reaching from heel to toe. This carbon insert and the replaceable tread are bolted to a nylon frame. This nylon frame is both tough and thin, designed to keep the ball of the foot close to the pedal axle.

From this design a small amount of flex is given to the toe area, however the main body of the shoe is ultra-stiff, able to transfer the power. Excellent comfort is assured as the design gives consideration to the blood circulation in the foot.

Optional extras are available for this sole: a toe-guard to provide added protection to the front of the foot and toe-spikes for extra traction off-bike.

The SRS Carbon sole is fully serviceable. The bolt-on Dragon SRS tread, the polyurethane anti-slip pads (for the metatarsus area) and the carbon-fibre inserts are available as spare parts.
