Shimano takes another step into the gravel world with the introduction of the S-Phyre RX910 Gravel shoe. This new racing shoe combines the efficiency of a road shoe with the robustness of an MTB model and introduces the brand new Pontoon Cleat System.
Gravel races require a unique mix: maximum power transfer for long stretches of asphalt, but also grip and stability on mud, gravel and technical sections. The RX910 was developed together with gravel pros such as Pete Stetina, stressing that this model is not a compromise:
"For gravel, you need a light, stiff shoe that offers both stability on the pedals and grip during a hike-a-bike. The RX910 delivers exactly that."
Pontoon Cleat System: the innovation
The biggest innovation is the Pontoon Cleat System. Shimano thereby integrates replaceable TPU contact blocks directly into the cleat interface. This keeps the pedal support stable regardless of the position of your cleats. The result: the feel of a road shoe, but with full SPD compatibility.
The pontoons move with your cleat adjustment and are also replaceable, so you'll arrive at the start with a solid interface every time. Shimano recommends the combination with the PD-M9200 or PD-M8100 SPD pedals, for optimal power transfer and quick click-in during technical passages.
