The Shimano SH-RX801 is a high-performance gravel shoe designed for riders who refuse to compromise between road efficiency and off-road capability. The carbon fibre composite sole, rated 10 out of 12 for stiffness, delivers near-direct power transfer with every pedal stroke — no flex, no energy leak.
Closure combines a low-profile BOA® Li2 dial with a forefoot velcro strap for a secure, fine-tuned fit that can be adjusted on the fly, even with gloves on. The soft synthetic leather upper uses Shimano's Surround Wrapping construction to wrap the foot evenly and eliminate pressure points across a range of foot volumes.
TPU lugs moulded into the outsole provide enough grip for hike-a-bike sections, stream crossings or gravel paths, while the rigid platform keeps pedalling efficiency intact. The SPD 2-bolt mount is compatible with the vast majority of road and gravel pedals on the market, giving you real flexibility when setting up your bike.
SHIMANO DYNALAST technology replicates the foot's natural curvature during the pedal stroke, reducing muscular fatigue over long distances. The high-density footbed features adaptable arch support and a Silvadur antimicrobial treatment to keep the interior fresh even after consecutive days of riding. Available in sizes 39 to 47.
