The Shimano RX710 Navy Blue are gravel shoes designed to offer pedaling efficiency, stability, and comfort on mixed terrain. Their design combines the DYNALAST 2.0 fit, a double BOA closure system, and a carbon-reinforced sole.

Shimano RX710 Navy Blue: performance and control on gravel routes

The Shimano RX710 Navy Blue shoes were developed for gravel cyclists who want to maintain efficient pedaling without sacrificing the versatility needed when the asphalt gives way to trails and paths. Their sporty design prioritizes power transfer, foot stability, and comfort on long rides.

Shimano combines the SHIMANO DYNALAST 2.0 upper, a carbon-reinforced midsole, and a BOA L6 Z-type dual closure system on the RX710. This configuration is particularly well-suited to dynamic, long-distance gravel riding.

DYNALAST 2.0 for a more natural fit

DYNALAST 2.0 technology evolves the shoe's internal shape by adding more volume to the forefoot. This gives the toes more room to adopt a natural position while pedaling.

This design is particularly interesting when hours in the saddle accumulate, while maintaining the necessary support to ride effectively on rougher sections.

Double BOA L6 type Z: precisely adjust the fit

Two BOA L6 Z-type dials allow for even pressure distribution across the foot and fine-tuning the shoe's fit. This enables the support to be adapted to the cyclist's preferences and the intensity of the ride.

This closure also avoids relying on a single tightening system across the entire shoe, an advantage when seeking both precision and comfort over several hours.

A rigidity adapted to sporty gravel riding

The RX710 features a carbon-reinforced midsole with a Shimano stiffness rating of 9/12 . This provides an efficient platform for transferring power during accelerations, climbs, and long rolling sections.

The design remains specific to gravel: unlike a pure road shoe, the RX710 must also allow the cyclist to manage the sections where it becomes necessary to put a foot down or walk.

TPU outsole for off-bike sections

The TPU outsole provides support zones around the cleat attachment. It improves stability when the terrain forces you to dismount, whether on a steep slope, a technical section, or simply when you stop.

This architecture allows the RX710 to maintain its performance focus while meeting the specific requirements of a true gravel shoe.

2-screw SPD compatibility

The Shimano RX710 is designed for 2-bolt SPD cleats . This standard allows the cleat to be positioned inside the area protected by the outsole, thus facilitating walking compared to a road shoe equipped with a protruding cleat.

Why choose the RX710 for gravel riding?

The RX710 is designed for riders who prioritize performance and precision while needing a shoe that can adapt to changing terrain. It's a natural fit for gravel bikes intended for fast rides, long distances, and routes that alternate between roads and trails.

LVR Cycles tip: Gravel shoes should properly support the heel and midfoot without compressing the forefoot. Also, consider the thickness of the socks you usually wear when choosing your shoe size.
