Please check the current leadtime, when your size is not in stock the delivery time may vary from 1-3 months.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Passo Giau, the design reflects the rhythm and intensity of one of the Giro d’Italia’s most famous climbs. Clean lines and a distinctive colour palette pay tribute to the legendary Maglia Rosa, creating a cycling shoe that combines professional-level performance with unmistakable Italian racing heritage.

With only 2,000 pairs produced, the Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition is an exclusive choice for cyclists who want race-proven performance combined with a truly distinctive design.

Official Giro d’Italia Limited Edition

The Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition has been developed by Nimbl in partnership with the Giro d’Italia.

Rather than simply adding a new colour to an existing shoe, the design celebrates the identity and history of one of professional cycling’s three Grand Tours.

The inspiration comes from the spectacular Passo Giau, a climb deeply associated with the drama and intensity of the Giro. The shoe's distinctive graphics and colour palette reference both the mountain landscape and the iconic pink leader's jersey.

Limited to Only 2,000 Pairs

Exclusivity is an important part of this special edition.

Nimbl is producing just 2,000 pairs worldwide, making the Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia a genuinely limited-edition cycling shoe.

For riders who appreciate exclusive cycling equipment and the history of professional road racing, this combination of limited production and Giro-inspired design makes the shoe particularly distinctive.

Race-Proven Ultimate Exceed Pro Platform

Underneath its exclusive Giro d’Italia design, this limited edition uses the performance-focused Ultimate Exceed Pro Edition platform.

The shoe has been developed around the demands of high-level road racing, combining low weight, exceptional stiffness and precise foot retention.

This makes it equally suitable for racing, climbing, high-intensity training and demanding road rides where efficient power transfer is essential.

Monocoque Carbon Chassis

At the heart of the Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition is Nimbl's monocoque carbon chassis.

The integrated carbon structure creates an extremely rigid and stable platform underneath the foot, helping minimise unwanted flex during powerful efforts.

This direct construction is designed to transfer power efficiently from rider to pedal, providing the responsive sensation required for sprinting, climbing and high-intensity racing.

Less Than 2 mm Sole Stack

One of the most distinctive technical characteristics of the Ultimate Exceed platform is its exceptionally low less than 2 mm sole stack.

Positioning the foot extremely close to the pedal creates a direct connection between rider and bike.

For cyclists moving from shoes with a thicker outsole, this very low stack height can also be relevant when optimising bike fit, as differences in shoe sole thickness affect the distance between the foot and pedal.

Only 192 Grams

Despite its extremely rigid carbon construction, the Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition remains exceptionally lightweight.

At approximately 192 grams in size 43, the shoe provides an impressive combination of stiffness and low weight.

This makes it particularly attractive to climbers, racers and performance-oriented cyclists who want to minimise unnecessary weight while maintaining excellent foot support and power transfer.

BOA® Li2 Fit System

The Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition uses the premium BOA® Li2 Fit System for precise and secure adjustment.

The Li2 dial provides micro-adjustable tension, allowing riders to fine-tune the fit around the foot.

This precise adjustment helps keep the foot securely positioned during high-power efforts while also making it easy to modify tension when necessary.

The closure has been combined with updated cotton lace guides, designed to improve comfort across the upper while maintaining secure foot retention.

Secure Fit for Racing

Foot stability is particularly important during hard accelerations, out-of-the-saddle climbing and sprinting.

The BOA® Li2 system helps the upper wrap securely around the foot, reducing unnecessary movement between the foot and shoe.

Combined with the rigid monocoque carbon chassis, this creates a stable connection between rider and pedal during demanding race efforts.

Redesigned Ventilation System

The shoe features a lightweight microfiber upper with a redesigned ventilation system.

Ventilation holes are strategically positioned to improve airflow around the foot, helping manage heat during demanding riding conditions.

This is especially valuable during hot-weather riding and long climbs, where lower speeds reduce the natural airflow passing around the shoe.

Lightweight Microfiber Upper

The microfiber upper has been designed to provide the support required for racing without unnecessary bulk.

Its lightweight construction complements the carbon chassis and contributes to the shoe's approximately 192-gram weight.

The result is a streamlined racing shoe that combines a supportive fit with effective ventilation and low overall weight.

Inspired by the Passo Giau

The visual identity of this limited edition takes inspiration from the Passo Giau, one of the most spectacular mountain passes associated with the Giro d’Italia.

The design uses clean and decisive lines intended to reflect the rhythm and intensity of climbing through the Dolomites.

Its distinctive colour palette also pays tribute to the Maglia Rosa, connecting the shoe directly with the most recognisable symbol of the Giro d’Italia.

Professional Racing Performance

The Ultimate Exceed Pro platform has been developed around the demands of professional cycling.

Its combination of low weight, an extremely low stack height, monocoque carbon construction and BOA® Li2 adjustment provides the characteristics required for high-level racing.

The result is a shoe equally suited to professional competition and ambitious cyclists looking for premium road cycling performance.

Three-Bolt and Speedplay Options

The Nimbl Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition is available with two different monocoque carbon chassis options.

The standard three-bolt version is compatible with common road pedal systems such as Shimano SPD-SL, Look Keo and similar three-bolt cleats.

A dedicated Speedplay version is also available for riders using Wahoo Speedplay pedals.

This allows cyclists to choose the appropriate carbon chassis for their pedal system while retaining the exceptionally low-stack construction of the shoe.

Extensive Size Range

The Ultimate Exceed Giro d’Italia Limited Edition is available in sizes 38 through 47.

Half sizes are available from 39.5 through 46.5, providing additional options for achieving a precise performance fit.

This extensive sizing range is particularly useful in a race-oriented shoe where accurate foot positioning and secure heel retention are essential.
