“Ready to Rally when the gravel riding gets rowdy? Then the new RX801R gravel adventurous racing shoe delivers all the performance features of the RX801 shoes you crave, but with a snug fitting knitted ankle cuff that boosts protection from sand, grit, and pebbles. The integrated gaiter eliminates the space between the foot and shoe for protection from the elements and provides unparalleled long-distance comfort. Ready for wherever the road takes you, the stretch-knit ankle cuff is designed to keep water, dust, and debris out of your shoes so you can focus on the road ahead.”
