Product Information
Full details
The Sidi Genius X WYVE is designed for performance-oriented female cyclists who prioritize power transfer and anatomical comfort during long-distance training or competitive rides. Featuring a high-tech Wyve-engineered mesh upper, these shoes offer exceptional breathability and structural support; however, riders transitioning from basic recreational footwear should note the stiffness index of 6, which is optimized for efficiency rather than walking comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for gravel riding?
While designed primarily for road cycling, they can be used on gravel if paired with a 3-bolt road cleat system, though the carbon composite sole is better suited for paved surfaces.
Can I replace the heel pads myself?
Yes, the heel pads are modular and designed to be replaced by the user once they show signs of significant wear.
How do I determine my correct size?
Sidi sizing follows European standards. It is recommended to measure your foot in centimeters and consult the Sidi conversion chart, keeping in mind that these are designed for a performance fit.
Is the Wyve material waterproof?
The material is designed for maximum breathability and airflow, meaning it is not waterproof and may allow water ingress in heavy rain.
What is the stiffness index of 6 mean?
It indicates a balance between rigidity for power transfer and enough flexibility for comfort during long rides, catering to intermediate to advanced cyclists.
Troubleshooting
Dial tension feels loose or slips
Check the dial mechanism for grit or road debris. Clean with compressed air or a soft brush, and ensure the retention cord is not kinked.
Pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the position of the anatomical TPU instep strap to ensure it is centered over the arch and not pulled too tight across the highest point of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:
- Cleat Compatibility: The R3CC outsole is compatible with standard 3-bolt road cycling cleat systems. Always apply a thin layer of grease to the bolts during installation to prevent seizing.
- Dial Maintenance: Periodically clean the aluminum dials with a dry brush to remove road grit. If a dial loses tension or stiffness, replacement kits are available.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mesh and TPU upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents in the mesh.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the synthetic materials.
