Ultralight High Performance Gravel Racing Shoe for Men

The RX801 is a breathable racing shoe for adventures on all terrain, combining the top performance features of premium mountain bike and road racing footwear in a shoe that balances powerful pedaling performance and versatile off-the-bike capability. Lightweight, stiff, and walkable, it's the perfect shoe for gravel racers, gran fondo riders, and weekend warriors alike.

Whether you're clipped in or clearing a tricky section on foot, the RX801 delivers maximum efficiency and comfort on all types of terrain with a wider contact area and built-in heel stabilizer for increased control. With a more shallow toe and heel tread compared to XC shoes, the high-grip TPU lugs are designed for the best balance of pedaling performance and off-the-bike stability.

DYNALAST technology delivers an optimized toe-spring section to create a smoother, more efficient upstroke - resulting in reduced energy loss and a more natural pedal stroke. The RX801 is SPD cleat compatible, system-engineered with SPD pedals for maximum pedaling efficiency and stability.

Lightweight, abrasion-resistant TPU lugs offer extra traction while walking or pushing your bike on rocky terrain. The Surround Upper pattern provides the perfect balance of holding power and comfort with its seamless design, and the low-profile BOA Li2 dial with rubber grip delivers quick and precise micro-adjustments for a more solid feeling on and off the bike.

The legacy of "in-the-dirt" dependability, reliability and sheer endurance continues as Shimano shoe-pedal designs evolve to meet the needs of your personal style of ride. The Shimano PD-M9100 race-ready SPD pedal features a large pedal-to-shoe contact area, wide bearing placement, and low platform height for a stable and rigid platform, with excellent mud-shedding ability.

The Shimano PD-M8100 large pedal platform and lower platform height enhance power transfer and pedaling stability, with robust retention claws for smooth engagement and release, and customizable entry and release tension settings. The Shimano PD-M540 is a reliable and durable SPD / 2-hole clip-in pedal with adjustable entry and release tension, and a chrome-moly spindle with low-maintenance sealed bearing cartridge axle for durability.

Pair the RX801 with the Shimano SH-RX600 Women's or Men's SPD Gravel Bike Shoes, or the Shimano SH-RX801 SPD Gravel Shoes or Rally SPD Gravel Shoes for a complete off-road/gravel adventure system.
