Test: Giro Sector Pro - for hot feet and hot rides
The most important features in brief
The Sektor Pro is designed for mountain and gravel bikers, it is low-cut and has a very breathable and stretchy upper material. The shoe is a mixture of cross-country and trail model.
First impressionThe elastic Synchwire™ textile is reinforced by a thermally welded PU mesh. This provides stability and a cool look. A robust toe cap and heel ensure a long service life, while the rear reflective zone ensures better visibility in traffic. The shoe is optimally adjusted with two Boa fasteners. It can be opened wide, which makes it easier to get on. The SPD-compatible sole has two threaded inserts for steel spikes, but these are not included in the scope of delivery.
In use
The upper material is exceptionally elastic and fits the foot very well. Despite its flexible properties, it is easy to pedal and run in and the shoe provides optimum support for the foot. The Giro Sector Pro is so comfortable that you hardly feel it on your foot. The carbon-reinforced sole is very stiff in the longitudinal direction, but offers lateral flex for better running. This allows you to pedal efficiently without being annoyingly stiff. Like many shoes, this one needs a certain break-in period until it fits perfectly and doesn't pinch anywhere.
Conclusion
With the Sektor Pro, Giro has created a model that has a wide range of uses. This ranges from long day tours with "Bike 'n' Hike" use to a quick round at the end of the day or a gravel ride with friends. Its breathability is second to none. There are better candidates for uncompromising racing use.
Recommendation
Thanks to its exceptional breathability, it is ideal for rides on very warm days or for people with hot feet.
