Designed like racing shoes, the RC703 and RC703W use the same S-PHYRE last shape as the high-end road shoes. Developed to offer all-day comfort and efficient power transfer, they use a minimalist midsole and a discreet cross-lacing system that secures the forefoot, reduces weight, and increases pedaling stability. In addition, the RC703W shoe has a specific women’s last shape, designed to improve comfort and performance for a wider range of cyclists.
