Pro‑Inspired Fit and Support
The RC1 uses Shimano’s Surround Wrapping upper structure, originally developed for the elite S‑PHYRE range. This design reduces overlap and eliminates pressure points, creating a snug, supportive fit that enhances comfort on long rides.
Efficient Power Transfer
A seamless midsole construction removes the lasting board to lower stack height, improving pedalling efficiency and delivering more direct power transfer. The glass‑fibre reinforced nylon sole provides the stiffness needed for responsive acceleration and steady climbing.
Breathable, Lightweight Comfort
Perforated synthetic leather and recycled mesh panels keep airflow high, helping your feet stay cool during warm‑weather rides and long training sessions. At just 260g per shoe (size 42), the RC1 remains light and comfortable mile after mile.
Secure Closure and Everyday Practicality
Three hook‑and‑loop straps allow quick, precise adjustment, ensuring a stable fit without hotspots. Reflective detailing improves visibility in low‑light conditions, making the RC1 a reliable choice for year‑round riding.
Ideal for keen road cyclists seeking dependable, all‑season footwear that performs on club rides, training sessions and daily mileage.
