Dials and bright styles Ben Delaney / Immediate Media

If Eurobike is any indication, the era of buckle ratchets on top-end road shoes may be drawing to an end. Whether for the smaller increments of adjustment, the lighter weight, or just the me-too trendiness, Boa and Boa-type dials are now de rigueur, with the likes of Shimano, Sidi, Bont, Giro, Pearl Izumi, Fizik, Northwave and many more betting on the thin-lace technology.

Giro loops in laces, Velcro and Boa for new Techlace shoes New Shimano pro-tested road shoes Here is a top-line look at many of the latest and greatest road shoes shown at Eurobike . Please note that Specialized and Trek don’t exhibit at Eurobike, but rest assured that both American brands are in on the Boa action, with the S-Works 6 and the Bontrager XXX models, respectively.

Dials aside, hi-vis and flash are also in for 2017. Black shoes could be found at Eurobike — but you really had to hunt for them.

Giro used the material for the sole on the Prolight Techlace, which Giro expects to come in at about 150g for production models.

Techlace (which consists of standard laces clamped into a Velcro pull tab) first showed up alongside a Boa dial in Giro’s new Factor Techlace .
