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.
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.
Just because the wet and cold conditions of winter arrive we know you'll not be put off from grabbing your mountain bike and getting into the great outdoors and ripping along muddy, slippery, challenging but grin-inducing MTB trails. However, wet, cold and soggy feet aren't so fun which is why investing in the MW5 Dryshield MTB boots will keep that smile on your face and feet dry, cosy and warm. A DRYSHIELD® membrane stops water, mud and cold winds from getting inside and this is enhanced by an insulating fleece inner and insole with fleece liner while the lace flap and neoprene collar provide a firm seal against the elements. When it comes to easy adjustment, the speed lacing system can't be beaten, you'll be sealed and ready to ride in no time and equally it's a cinch to undo at the end of your ride too. The two-bolt cleat compatible sole ensures you can clip into your favourite MTB pedals and navigate any trail with ease and if you do have to hop off and push, then the durable rubber outsole gives you impressive grip levels and solid traction in the dirt. The dry, dusty trails may be gone but thanks to the MW5 Dryshield MTB boots you'll never have an off-season. Keep mountain biking whatever the weather.
With roads becoming ever more congested, heading away from it all on your bike and discovering off-road tracks and trails is ever more attractive. And the RX600 Gravel Shoes are all about delivering that efficient feel of a road shoe but with the comfort, durability and walkability needed for rougher terrain. Wrapped in Comfort Made with synthetic leather, the upper provides a comfortable and supple fit, making sure you remain focused on your ride.

Plenty of perforations and mesh inserts offer excellent ventilation too, keeping your feet cooler and drier when temperatures rise. Comfortably Efficient Sole The carbon-reinforced sole unit strikes the perfect balance of pedalling efficiency and comfort.

But over rough trails, there’s still enough flex to take the edge off vibrations and trail buzz. If you need to hop off your bike and push or you’re doing some exploration on foot, the TPU lugs across the sole give plenty of purchase so you’re not slipping and sliding around. The wider lugs also deliver better traction over any surface.

But even with your lightest cycling kit on and the fan set to maximum, you’ll still soon be sweating profusely.
