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.

Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGAThe Assos EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA bring you an unrivalled race-ready fit, flexibility and fast-riding aerodynamics. For cyclists seeking performance gains and ultimate comfort, these are the ones. Take the Best. And Make it Better.The original RSR S9 bib shorts took cycling performance to a new level. But never ones to sit back and relax, the team at Assos have looked for areas to improve. The EQUIPE RSR Bib Shorts S9 TARGA are now more flexible, more supportive and lighter than ever.Re-engineered fit and fabrics also ease pressure in sensitive areas while maintaining the renowned aerodynamics of its predecessor. And faster-drying fabrics prevent sweat from soaking in and adding weight. After all, every little bit of weight saving counts when you're on the bike. A combination of woven Type.701kompressor textile and Ossidia inserts give the shorts a near frictionless fit. Not only that, the ultrathin yarns are extremely elastic, allowing for superb muscle compression and flexibility, ensuring pedalling has never felt easier. Carbon Xbib ConstructionThe A-frame suspension design of the Carbon Xbib limits the vertical stretch to the back of the shorts. This provides a secure and stable position of the S9 seat pad at all times. The Dual-face Carbon material is now quicker drying, an improvement upon the previous single-sided design. Built for SpeedAs you'd expect, the S9 TARGA shorts are engineered with Assos RacingFit. This second-skin fit maximises your speed while also optimising flexibility and comfort. The leg length is also extended when compared to the Equip RS and Mille GT lines. Smooth aerodynamics extends to the leg grippers. The Assos skinGrip cuffs give compressive support across the thighs, with silicone grippers to provide a secure non-slip fit. Minimal transitional ridges between skin and shorts keep airflow smooth. A-Lock EngineeringThe A-Lock system combines Assos' rollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panel to give you shorts that fit beautifully no matter what. Whether it's high-intensity bursts of speed or long endurance efforts, this engineered design maintains superb stability as you shift weight in and out of the saddle. Assos' unique 'butterfly' panel design, snugly wraps the legs and back to create the ergoBox structure. This holds the S9 insert securely in place for an incredible feeling of support and comfort throughout your pedal stroke and when you're shifting weight on the saddle.S9 Sundeck InsertTaking their already super-comfortable S9 insert, Assos have made improvements to make it lighter, cooler and minimise its footprint, all to enhance comfort still further. The first improvement is what Assos call the Sundeck Superlight. This is a luxuriously soft front panel that increases airflow while eliminating pressure in this most sensitive area. Then comes Assos' whirlKrater. Again this is all about airflow, with copious perforations added throughout the insert, creating a whirlwind of cooling airflow.What hasn't changed is the odour-resistant top sheet for all-day freshness. You also retain the benefits of 9mm shock-absorbing foam, taking the buzz out of rougher roads. 3D Waffle inserts keep bulk low and allow more air circulation. And Thermoformed shaping reduces ridges and irritation. Lastly, there's the goldenGate. The unique stitching pattern allows the insert to 'float' allowing the pad to move with you for optimal comfort.FeaturesMaterials: 68% Polyamide, 26% Elastane, 6% PolyamideA-Lock Engineering: RollBar bib straps, modified ergoBox, and one-piece Butterfly panelImproved Carbon Xbib dual-sided construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.701kompressor - patented woven textile developed specifically forcompressive hold and second-skin comfortType.701kompressor - UPF 50+, dyed-through yarns with infused odorControl, maximum abrasion-resistance, friction reduction, hydrophobicity, and heat managementOssidia inserts - targeted stretch in sensitive areasskinGrip - Compressive leg bands and silicone grip keep the cuffs and leg panels secureRacingFit- most aggressive, most aerodynamic, most compressive, and - simply - the fastest option from AssosS9 Sundeck Insert - a supportive seat pad with improved ventilation and breathabilityLeg Length: Long Buy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
