The mountain bike shoe for 400 francs

Shimano is bringing a Formula 1 shoe into the 2017 season: the neon yellow literally screams "Fast!" and every gram and seam of the toe piece is trimmed to make the lactate-infested cross-country rider even faster.

The new top-end shoe from Shimano, the XC9, combines the power transmission of a road cycling shoe with the robustness required for off-road racing. The completely redesigned outsole with asymmetrically positioned, specially modeled plastic blocks and optional 18-millimeter studs not only offers outstanding grip both when walking over hill and dale and when clipped in or out on the pedals. With its construction, it also helps to reduce the weight of the shoe to a modest 325 grams per pair (size 42). The XC9 is available in Switzerland at an RRP of CHF 400.00 in the color yellow in sizes 39 - 48.
