The Dura-Ace 9100 brake has been developed to offer greater tyre clearance for up to 700x28c tyres while still maintaining the aerodynamic advantage of previous editions. It's now also up to 43% stiffer than previous Shimano Dura-Ace rim brakes and offers a linear braking curve for improved feel and function. Plus, the quick release (QR) arm now tucks in toward the main body when closed for improved aerodynamics.
You can now enjoy Shimano’s Dynamic Chain Engagement (DCE) for enhanced chain retention and driving rigidity as well as HollowTech II technology for an unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio. This Boost specific 11-speed crankset features a +3mm outboard chainline for 148mm Boost hubs.
The all-new 2013 Dura-Ace group is the result of 40 years of development and innovation, tested to the limit at the highest level of competition in road racing, time trials and cyclo-cross. Dura-Ace delivers concentration, control and confidence with slick, fast, accurate performance that you can depend upon without distraction. Dura-Ace now has an 11-speed cassette with numerous gearing options to cover all situations. Leading edge design, materials and construction reduce weight, improve stiffness and enhance control.
The original Shimano cycling sandals established themselves as an unlikely icon of their footwear range. But they have proved incredibly popular for leisure riders and two-wheeled explorers alike. They're now back with a fresh new look and updated design to make the SD5 Sandals better than ever. They now come in a range of standard sizes to let you get just the right size for you. The improved comfort liner does exactly what it says, enhances comfort, particularly when you're not wearing socks - though wearing socks is recommended when you're on the bike and pedalling. The sole is improved too, with a stiffness tailored for efficient pedalling but with tuned flex for comfortable walking too. You can choose to use clip-in SPD pedals for a secure pedalling feel but the cleat-cap lets you use flat pedals with ease too. Cleat Guidance These Sandals 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.
Made from lightweight synthetic leather and using a foot-wrapping smooth upper, the Women's RC100W Road Shoes give an instantly comfortable fit devoid of hotspots and chafing. And thanks to the excellent breathability and ventilation holes, you'll enjoy fresh feet throughout your ride too. To get the fit just right every time, Shimano gives the RC100Ws three velcro straps. The straps minimise weight, reduces fuss and offers a reliable means of adjustment to get the fit just as you like it. The sole of the shoes is a light glass-fibre reinforced unit. This rates 6 out of 12 on the Shimano scale of stiffness, ensuring you get efficient power transfer to the pedals fort rapid progress but with enough flex to comfortably soak up the bumps and vibrations from the road. Lastly, extensive reflective details keep you more visible if your rides start early or stretch beyond sunset. 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.
While sitting at an entry-level price point, the Women's RC3 Road Shoes deliver the fit, comfort and efficient performance normally reserved for higher-priced shoes. This is thanks to the aforementioned technology first developed and deployed on the S-PHYRE shoes. This has now trickled down to be accessible to those of you on a tighter budget. Dynalast Performance Comfort Starting with comfort, this is delivered via the Dynalast design, a single piece synthetic leather upper design that wraps the foot snugly. This offers a firm hold, foot stability and an optimized toe-spring section that ensures the most efficient and powerful pedal stroke possible with reduced fatigue over long distances. Perforations across the shoe keep your feet fresh too. The low-profile L6 dial gives you quick and easy adjustment of the fit, even on the bike. And at the end of your ride, it's simple to loosen the shoe to kick them off. Efficiently Fast The RC3s get you where you're going with minimum fuss and optimal efficiency thanks to a lightweight glass-fibre reinforced nylon sole. This rates 6 out of 12 on Shimano's stiffness scale, allowing you to get power to the pedals with minimal power loss. But at the same time, it has enough flex to soak up bumps and vibrations from the road, enhancing comfort on both short and long rides. They also feature a seamless midsole construction. This brings your foot closer to the pedal axles, giving a more natural pedal stroke and again maximising power transfer. 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.
These mountain bike (MTB) pedals are feature-packed with performance-enhancing technologies that are specially tailored for aggressive DH riding. Shimano has equipped these with a non-pop-up aluminium pedal body for simplicity and durability. Its pedal body also protects the binding mechanism against impacts, while its thin profile lowers stack height and improves obstacle clearance. Thanks to its wide contact area, you'll benefit from enhanced stability when paired with Shimano AM series shoes. With the option to ride clipped in, these pedals also feature four height-adjustable pins per side for improved grip when not clipped-in. Coming complete with adjustable entry and release tension settings, these are a great choice of upgrade for reliable pedalling performance on your downhill mountain bike. Aggressive DH Riding SPD Pedals Clip into the Saint M820 series SPD pedal's robust retention claws for serious downhill riding. Improved axle durability raises these thin and tough pedals to a new level. Experience even better bike control by pairing with Shimano GR series shoes (available separately). Shimano Pedalling Dynamics (SPD) SPD is a system that performs whether you’re on or off the bike. It makes pedalling more efficient with a wide variety of shoe and pedal styles and the recessed cleat makes walking more comfortable. You can pedal with greater efficiency, stability and comfort with the SPD system. Shimano invented SPD to meet the needs of a growing frontier lifestyle called MTB. By eliminating toe-clips and integrating the pedal and outsole into a single, unified power transfer system, Shimano changed the industry; not only boosting power to the pedal, but also the rider’s control over increasingly adventurous styles of riding.
