Outsole
Light, durable and stiff. The Sidi Tiger employs the brand's MTB SRS Carbon-Ground Sole. It provides adequate rigidity for power transfer.

Note that the toe spikes are sold separately.
Cleat System

Upper

Lockdown without pressure. The shoe's retention system is governed by a double Tecno 3 dial placed in the base of the tongue. This design helps prevent pressure points and keeps the dial away from harm's way in the trail.
The dials offer micro-adjustments for a precise fit.
Heel retention system. The Sidi Tiger features the brand's famous adjustable heel retention device. It helps improve the heel fit by cinching the back of the foot. This prevents the heel from sliding inside the shoe nor out the shoe. Each side of the heel can be tweaked independently to achieve an optimal fit.
Reflective. Inserts of reflective patches are also provided to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, providing rider safety.
Protection. Rubber toe pads are applied to provide protection from bumps and impacts.
