The ultimate competition oriented road cycling shoe with an excellent fit and optimal power transmission.
Stiffer, more supportive and as comfortable as ever, the RC9 SPD-SL S-Phyre Road Shoe offers the highest level of performance for road training and racing. When you're looking to outrun competitors on steep courses and out-sprint them, just like Mathieu van der Poel, the super-stiff carbon sole delivers as much power to the pedals as possible. In training, where you have power targets to achieve, they ensure that each training session is optimal as well.
Through careful study of pedaling dynamics, Shimano has designed the RC9 with materials specifically tailored to the key features needed in each part of the shoe. This includes non-stretch Kuraray Rovenica, Teijin Nanofront and PU laminated mesh materials, all deployed to provide the best foot stability, perfect ventilation, minimal weight and minimal energy loss when pedaling.
The RC9s continue in Shimano's Dynalast design ethos. A 360-degree wraparound upper hugs the foot and offers a stable pedaling platform for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke. You also see an optimized toe-spring section that ensures efficient and powerful pedaling with reduced foot fatigue over long distances. The toe box shape has also benefited from further refinement and the improved design now offers comfort for a wider range of foot shapes.
