"Zero Loss" is Scott's claim for her new shoes, as she believes that loss-free power transmission is crucial for winning races. We share this opinion, but it requires far more than just a stiff sole. The upper material also has its function in these matters and comfort should still be guaranteed. To make this possible, Scott uses a breathable, welded and lightweight airmesh material that is reinforced with CX6 fibers from Carbitex - structured in the RC shoe and continuous in the SL shoe.

The Carbitex CX6 material enables an extremely light and extremely comfortable, yet extremely stiff shoe construction. The carbon fiber has the highest tensile strength of all commercially available fibers. As the fiber is virtually non-stretchable compared to conventional upper materials for cycling shoes, it ensures exceptionally good power transmission. Despite the tensile strength of the CX6 fiber, the material should have sufficient flexibility and therefore offer plenty of comfort, so that the shoes are still comfortable even when worn for long periods.

The upper materials are combined with the HMX carbon outsole with a sandwich core made from Corecell™ foam. The ASE EVA outsole with a minimalist Sticki-Rubber profile provides grip when running.
Inside, an adjustable Ergologic insole provides the right amount of support for the foot. The shoe is fastened using the Boa IP1 lacing system to prevent it from slipping out. Overall, the RC-Ultimate and RC-SL shoes weigh just 330 grams.

The fast shoes are available from 38 to 41 in full sizes, from 41 to 45 also in half sizes and from shoe sizes 45 to 48 again in full sizes.
