The clad steel/alloy/steel rotor construction of the Shimano RT86 rotor allows heat generated from braking to radiate quickly through the aluminium core achieving surface temperature drops of around 50 degrees C. When used with Ice-Tec pads surface temperatures on the Shimano XT 180mm rotor can drop from around 400 to 300 degrees C, this provides great improvements in performance all around.
Shimano's SM-RTAD05 disc brake rotor adaptor is used for installing a 6-bolt disc brake rotor to Centrelock hub. The adapter features a reliable anti-loosen plate for secure braking in all riding conditions.
Light to the touch but positive and crisp, the Vivid indexing on the Shimano SLX M7000 shifter provides a constant amount of shift lever force across all 11 sprockets. The 2-way release allows shifting from various riding positions; the upper lever still performs the same shift function, but it can now swing in either direction allowing it to be released by the thumb or index finger. A pod design allows the use of these shifters with any brake I-Spec B or I-Spec-II level and the removable optical gear display with integrated cover allows the use of these shifters with any brake lever. Mount Compatibility: Bar Mount: Traditional clamp-mounting style were the Shifter mounts to the handlebar via its own clamp I-Spec B: The shifter is mounted directly to the Brake lever and not via its own clamp, this system is found on the likes of the M615, M675, M785 and M985 Shimano brake series (And, is also compatible with most Hope Brakes, including the Hope Tech 3 lever) I-Spec II: Mounting similar to I Spec B above, but newer and is only compatible with the newer Shimano M6000, M7000 M8000 and M9000 series brake lever systems

Be it in training or racing, power transfer, foot stability and comfort are key to get the most from your efforts. Attack a hill for the KOM or forge ahead of the peloton in a race and the RC7 Road Shoes (RC702) won't let you down. S-PHYRE Upper Providing a stable and secure pedalling platform is the foot-wrapping S-PHYRE technology, taken from their pro-level shoes and applied to the RC7s. The upper surrounds the foot snugly but at the same time reduces overlap, removing hot spots and stabilizing the foot throughout each pedal revolution. The synthetic material used for the upper is also impressively supple, giving a glove-like fit that's comfortable for rides both long and short. It's lightweight and breathable too, optimising comfort on those hot and hilly days on the bike. The Power of Carbon When it comes to driving you forward with thrilling efficiency, it's hard to beat the full carbon outsole of the RC7s. Rated 10 out of 12 on the Shimano stiffness scale, your watts are transferred to the pedals with minimal power loss. And when you're hunting down the breakaway or forging a break yourself, this stiff sole unit gets you up to speed and holding the pace with ruthless efficiency. Shimano has also improved the sole unit from previous iterations, with an upgrade to the midsole construction. Stack height is also reduced, improving both foot support, power transfer and efficiency. Meanwhile, ventilation and water drainage have also seen a significant boost, keeping you sweat-free on warm days and more comfortable on damp days. Dual BOA® L6 dials In order to get optimal comfort, the RC7 makes use of dual L6 dials. Micro adjustment of the fit across the upper and lower of the foot is made quick and easy via a turn of each dial. Whether tightening up for a stiff hill climb effort or loosening to boost comfort on a hot day, you can get the fit just right to suit your needs. And at the end of a ride, simply pull the dials up for a quick release of the laces. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
Whether your ambitions are to boost your fitness to ride faster for fun or you're aiming to drop your rivals as you race for wins, the RC5 Road Shoes offer all the performance you could need, but without emptying your bank account. S-Phyre Technology The design of the shoes makes use of Shimano's S-Phyre philosophy and features, as first seen on their premium race shoes. It starts with the foot-wrapping upper, offering a snug fit that provides a supportive pedalling platform and removes hot spots. Made with a combination of mesh, TPU and synthetic leather, this supple upper is incredibly light and highly breathable too, perfect for warmer weather and hill climbs. The upper construction is also integrated with the sole unit, offering extra support and stability during hard efforts. Power to the Pedals With their carbon fibre reinforced nylon sole, the RC5s balance the need for pedalling efficiency with value for money. Rated 7 out of 12 on Shimano's stiffness scale, this sole unit gets your hard-won watts to the pedals with minimal flex, propelling you forward rapidly and helping you maintain speed efficiently. Efficiency and foot support are further optimised via a low stack height, getting your foot closer to the pedal axle. BOA® L6 skeleton dial Low-profile, light in weight and offering precise adjustment, the BOA® L6 skeleton dial lets you quickly and easily get the fit, feel and security of the shoes just to your liking. It's also easy to make adjustments on the go - tighten them up for a final sprint - loosen them off as your feet swell in the heat.

Be it launching down a start ramp or living it up on bike park laps, the AM9 (AM903) MTB SPD Shoes deliver all the performance you need when you're pushing your mountain bike riding to the limits. Starting with the upper, this is made from a durable synthetic material that is more than capable of taking the hard knocks of mountain biking. A revised shape also makes the AM9s suitable for a wider range of foot shapes. The ankle gets raised protection to fend off crank strikes while heel and toe are also reinforced to protect against debris kicked up off the trail. Across the top of the foot, a shield also prevents dust, mud or debris from getting inside. Underneath the shield, the quick-lace system makes it super quick and easy to get the fit just right. When you're on the pedals and getting lairy, the proprietary Shimano compound outsole keeps you firmly in control. The extended Pedal Channel gives super-quick and easy cleat engagement, no matter which pedal system you prefer. And with a wider pedal contact area and refined toe and heel pattern you'll always enjoy impressive grip on the pedal body, both when you're foot-out and unclipped or when clipped-in and pedalling hard. With a stiffness rating of 5/12, you get good pedalling efficiency too. And when you're off the bike and walking, be it grabbing some refreshments or going round to session a trail feature, it's also got the flexibility to allow easy mobility across any terrain. Cleat Guidance These MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.

This stunning model integrates your bottom bracket and chainset into one strong, robust and lightweight workhorse. Furthermore, it is compatible with all new XTR chainrings thanks to its integrated design which makes installation and adjusting easier than ever before. Its precision bottom bracket bearings are spaced further apart and are therefore more stable and longer lasting. What's most impressive, is its super-lightweight HollowTech II cold forged Dualumin crank arms deliver an excellent strength to weight ratio, so you can conquer every technical trail without any unnecessary weight holding you back. If your existing cranks are old or worn-out, this is an ideal choice of a replacement for getting back to fast and precise acceleration and shifting out on the trails. Please note: Bottom Bracket is not included Technologies: HollowTech: Hollow forged crank arms. A lightweight crankset not only reduces the bike’s weight but decreases rotating mass to aid in acceleration. The challenge is to reduce the weight of the crank without reducing its strength and rigidity. Shimano's advanced forging technology has solved the problem through the HollowTech crank. Just like high quality frame tubing, a hollow crank arm can provide amazing strength and rigidity at very lightweight. HollowGlide: Hollow technology on the outer chainring. High rigidity hollow structure cuts down on weight yet maintains strength. Better power transfer and quicker and more precise front shifting.
The XTR M9020 integrates the bottom bracket and crankset into a strong, rigid, yet lightweight unit.
Fitting new gears or completely overhauling your gear cabling couldn't be easier, as this Shimano Dura-Ace gear cable kit comes with everything you need in one pack. It includes 1.2mm polymer coated inner wires (1x 2100mm, 1x 1800mm), SP41 outer casing for a complete bike (1x 1700mm) and all the required cable end caps. The polymer coated stainless steel inner cable on this Shimano Dura-Ace gear cable set leaves a smooth surface for low friction and reduced sliding resistance providing a lighter quicker shifting operation. The outer casing is lubricated internally along its length with low-friction silicone grease to reduce cable friction. Also, SP 41 outer casing uses a special directional wound construction process that makes for an axially stiff cable that transmits shifting movements accurately and quickly. Plus, this outer casing is lined with a polymer sheath to assist with the smooth operation of the inner cable.
