Shimano introduces the new SH-RX710 gravel shoe, a high-performance off-road shoe inspired by the S-PHYRE RX910 and designed to bring premium race technology to a broader range of riders. Whether lining up for a gravel race, exploring remote backroads, or embarking on an all-day adventure, the RX710 delivers the efficient power transfer, secure fit, and lasting comfort needed to ride further and faster across mixed terrain.
As gravel riding continues to evolve, riders are increasingly seeking equipment that performs across a wide range of experience levels. One weekend may involve chasing podiums while the next could mean exploring unfamiliar roads deep in the mountains. The RX710 was developed to meet those demands, balancing race-focused efficiency with all-day versatility.
At the heart of the RX710 is a lightweight carbon-reinforced midsole with a stiffness rating of 9 out of 12. This creates an efficient pedaling platform that helps riders maximize every watt while maintaining comfort for long days on the bike. A low stack height construction enhances the connection between rider and bike, delivering a stable and responsive feel whether accelerating on smooth gravel roads or navigating rough, technical sections.
The RX710 also features Shimano’s innovative Pontoon Cleat System, which delivers a more stable interface between shoe and pedal while simultaneously providing confident walkability off the bike. The result is a secure pedal engagement and enhanced control across changing terrain.
A lightweight synthetic leather upper balances breathability, durability, and comfort, helping riders stay comfortable during long training rides, race-day efforts, and multi-hour adventures. Dual BOA® fit system L6Z dials allow for precise micro-adjustments and a secure fit that can be quickly tuned as conditions and riding intensities change.
From race-day attacks and weekend training rides to remote gravel adventures, the new RX710 is built to help riders push further, ride faster, and discover what lies beyond the next turn.
