In training, where you have power targets to achieve, they ensure that each training session is optimal as well.Specific areas of functionThrough careful study of pedaling dynamics, Shimano has designed the RC9 with materials specifically tailored to the key features needed in each part of the shoe. This includes non-stretch Kuraray Rovenica, Teijin Nanofront and PU laminated mesh materials, all deployed to provide the best foot stability, perfect ventilation, minimal weight and minimal energy loss when pedaling.Shimano DynalastThe RC9s continue in Shimano's Dynalast design ethos. A 360-degree wraparound upper hugs the foot and offers a stable pedaling platform for efficient power transfer throughout your pedal stroke.
