Shimano XC7 Carbon MTB SPD Shoes (XC702)If you're a keen cross country mountain biker or cyclocross racer (or maybe both!), the Shimano XC7 Carbon MTB SPD Shoes (XC702) deliver unrivalled comfort and performance for off-road riding. Whether it's the mad dash off the start of a cyclocross race, the challenges of riding cross country trails that blast up and down hill, or chasing off-road KOMs on gravel, the XC7 Carbon MTB SPD Shoes (XC702) are the ideal companion. Technology from Shimano's S-PHYRE XC902 trickles downwards, giving the weekend racer and XC rider impressive performance at a keen price point. Foot-wrapping UpperProviding you with a stable and secure pedalling platform is the foot-wrapping technology taken from their top-tier XC race shoes. 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 off-road rides, both long and short. It's lightweight and breathable too, optimising comfort on those hot and hilly days of mountain biking. The Power of CarbonWhen it comes to driving you forward rapidly across rough trails it's hard to beat the carbon-reinforced outsole of the XC7s. Rated 9 out of 12 on the Shimano stiffness scale, your watts are transferred to the pedals with minimal power loss. However, a small degree of flex does help to alleviate the buzz from rough terrain too. The stack height is also reduced compared to previous iterations, improving both foot support, power transfer and efficiency. If you need to hop off the bike and scramble up a steep muddy bank in a cross race or scope out trail features on an XC trail, the ULTREAD™ compound gives you a secure grip on almost any terrain. The carefully designed stud and tread pattern aid grip further while also being quick to clear mud. Dual BOA® L6 dialsIn order to get optimal comfort, the XC7 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 trail 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 GuidanceThese 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. Features:Improved mesh and TPU upper for the perfect balance between breathability, support and durabilitySurround wrapping upper structure reduces overlap, providing a glove-like fit and eliminating hot-spotsMidsole construction cuts stack height, significantly improves ventilation and water drainageCarbon-reinforced nylon outsole maximises power transfer and pedalling efficiencySole construction, based on the S-PHYRE XC902, complete with Shimano ULTREAD™ compound for maximum grip and durabilityOptimised stud pattern to avoid mud stackingDual BOA® L6 dials ensure precise fit and comfortWeight: 300g (size 42)Stiffness rating: 9/122-bolt cleat compatible (cleats not supplied)Buy Shimano Footwear from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Shimano XC9 S-Phyre (XC902) MTB ShoesCreated for the riders tackling World Cup cross country mountain bike and cyclocross races, the XC9 S-Phyre (XC902) MTB Shoes are a no-compromise off-road race shoe that you too can enjoy on local trails and at the races.Bringing together the stiffness of a premium road race shoe and blending it with the durability and ruggedness of a mountain bike shoe, the XC9 S-Phyre (XC902) MTB Shoes are those of you who love to ride hard and fast across cross country trails and during winter cross races. A Heart of CarbonWith 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, 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 latest Shimano's 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 ZonesBorrowed from the RC902 road shoe, the XC9s utilise the same functional-specific zones to enhance foot stabilisation and minimise energy loss. This sees 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 dialsWhen 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.

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 GuidanceThese 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.
