RX8 Gravel Racing Shoes

Improving on the popular Shimano RX8 Gravel shoe, the updated RX801 model offers a more breathable design with a very stiff carbon outsole, efficient for your biggest efforts on the bike. The best performance features of Shimano’s high-end MTB and road shoes in this model offer a perfect balance between pedaling performance and walking comfort. The RX801 is THE gravel shoe optimized for racers, granfondo riders, and weekend warriors.

Optimized Fit for Performance

Whether you’re riding on smooth dirt roads or climbing bumpy forest trails, the RX801 offers maximum efficiency and comfort on all types of terrain. A wider contact area and integrated heel stabilizer increase control, while the Surround Wrapping Upper construction perfectly hugs the foot for an optimal fit. New to the RX801 model is the introduction of half-sizes, so more riders can enjoy a comfortable, secure, and seamless fit.

The new compact profile BOA® Li2 closure with rubber dial offers quick and precise micro-adjustments so you can easily adjust your fit, even on the go, avoiding any pressure points. Shimano DYNALAST technology ensures the foot is held securely in place, while a stiff and lightweight carbon composite sole enhances every pedal stroke for consistent and powerful riding performance.
