The Shimano S-Phyre RX9 - black are gravel racing shoes developed for competitive riding, where speed, stability, and pedaling efficiency are crucial. Part of the S-PHYRE range, they are designed to meet the demands of gravel racers tackling varied and challenging terrain, while maintaining a high level of comfort and durability over long distances.
Positioned at the top of Shimano 's gravel racing range, the RX910 incorporates advanced technologies derived from the S-PHYRE road shoes. They combine a very stiff carbon composite midsole, the SPD-specific Pontoon cleat system, and a wraparound upper optimized for support, stability, and power transfer.
