From the lung-busting efforts of hilly cross-country mountain biking trails to the constant accelerations of cyclocross races and through to the pain of lactic acid in interval training, the Women's XC5W (XC502W) MTB Shoes deliver as much of your hard-earned power through to the pedals as possible. And this premium performance comes at a less than premium price point. For racers on a tighter budget, they're a brilliant choice. S-Phyre Technology The design of the XC5W shoes makes use of Shimano's S-Phyre philosophy and features, as first seen on their premium cross-country 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 durable synthetic material, this supple upper is incredibly light and highly breathable too, perfect for warmer weather and challenging hill climbs. The upper construction is also integrated with the sole unit, as first seen on the S-PHYRE XC902, offering extra support and stability during hard off-road efforts. Power to the Pedals With their glass-fibre reinforced midsole, the XC5W balance the need for optimal pedalling efficiency with value for money. Rated 6 out of 12 on Shimano's stiffness scale, this sole unit gets your hard-won watts to the pedals but with enough flex to take the buzz out of rough trails. A low stack height gets your foot closer to the pedal axle, improving efficiency and foot support still further. Shimano's ULTREAD™ compound also features. This sticky rubber sole, in combination with the grippy tread and lug pattern, provides a firm grip when you're off the bike and running loose and muddy terrain. You can also fit Severe Condition Spikes (not supplied), just right for the muddiest of MTB and cyclocross races. 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. 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.
As seen on the feet of the World's best XC mountain bike and cyclocross racers, the XC9 S-Phyre (XC902) MTB Shoes make no compromises in their pursuit of pure race-ready performance. They blend the stiffness of a performance road shoe with the rugged toughness of a mountain bike shoe. It's one for the racers out there. A Heart of Carbon With their super-stiff carbon sole, the XC9 shoes deliver rapid acceleration straight off the start line. And once you're on the go, the incredible power transfer lets you maintain speed as you tackle sharp uphills, accelerate hard out of berms and drop your rivals as you speed across technical trail features. Meanwhile, if you're off the bike and running or pushing, the ULTREAD™ sole comes into its own. Lightweight but durable and grippy, this keeps you sure-footed on loose ground, mud and over rocks. Extended rear lugs give extra confidence on downhill slopes while the wide-spaced tread also prevents mud from clogging up the shoe and disrupting easy pedal entry. Shimano Dynalast The improved Shimano Dynalast design improves the fit and feel of the XC9s but maintains the superb support and stability it's renowned for. A 360-degree surround upper hugs the foot, offering a stable pedalling platform for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke. It also sees an optimized toe-spring section that ensures efficient and powerful pedalling with a reduction in foot fatigue over long distances. The toe box shape has also benefited from further refinement and the improved design now offers comfort to a wider range of foot shapes. To the heel, an anti-twist heel cup and glass-fibre reinforced heel stabiliser work seamlessly together to resist flex and instability during your higher power output efforts. Function Specific Zones Borrowed from the RC902 road shoe, the XC9s utilise the same functional-specific zones to enhance foot stabilisation and minimise energy loss. This sees both non-stretch and flexible materials deployed in key zones, giving you the very best in foot stability, perfect venting, minimal weight and the aforementioned minimised energy loss when pedalling. Dual BOA® Li2 dials When it comes to a precise fit, the twin BOA® Li2 dials give you the ultimate in quick and easy control. Micro-adjustment for both tightening and loosening ensure you get the fit just as you want it every time you ride. And as feet swell in the heat or you want to tighten up for a sprint, you can make quick adjustments on the fly. The Li2 dials also benefit from an improved construction to aid durability while also being lower profile to enhance aerodynamics. 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.
The updated XTR M9000 rotor's design has been completely redesigned and enhanced to significantly increase braking stability, heat dissipation and precision in even the most demanding of riding conditions. The revised Ice Tech Freeza construction sheds heat faster and more efficiently than ever before, ensuring that your brakes feel the same coming into the first corner as they do when exiting the final rock garden at the bottom of the mountain. This makes the Shimano XTR disc rotor the perfect choice of upgrade for pushing your off-road riding performance to the max. Technologies: Ice Technologies FREEZA: Ice Technologies combined with FREEZA disc brake rotor construction rapidly dissipates heat for more consistent braking performance in extreme conditions, longer pad life, and less brake fade and noise. The Lightweight clad rotors with heat-dissipating paint on exposed aluminum layer segments provide superior cooling, consistent brake performance, and lighter operation under all conditions. These rotors with their aluminum/stainless steel fins support rapid heat dissipation which helps reduce maintenance, provide longer pad life, and create less brake fade and noise.

Indoor training is highly effective at building your fitness. But even if you're wearing a superlight mesh base layer, highly breathable cycling shorts and with the fan on full-blast, you'll still build up a healthy sweat. And your feet don't miss out on the fun either, which is where the highly ventilated IC1 Indoor Cycling shoes come into their own. In order to deal with moisture quickly and effectively and keep your feet feeling cooler, the IC1s have a highly breathable sock-like mesh upper. Even during the toughest of interval sessions this allows your feet to breathe and keeps cool, fresh air circulating. The fixture system is kept lightweight and simple too. A single cross strap gives a secure and easy to adjust fit and makes it super-easy to get in and out of your shoes before and after your training sessions. Versatility is also excellent thanks to the sole unit. This is compatible with both 2-bolt and 3-bolt cleats and pedal systems. So whether your spin bike or home trainer bike uses double-sided MTB style pedals or single-sided you can clip in and get pedalling. The lightweight sole, a glass fibre reinforced nylon unit, also offers excellent pedalling efficiency and foot support while also keeping the price of the shoes affordable.
