Shimano S-Phyre XC903 Shoes

Product Overview

The Shimano S-Phyre XC903 is a lightweight cyclocross and cross-country racing shoe engineered for off-road performance. Featuring dual BOA Li2 dials, a carbon sole, and technical tread outsole, it delivers efficient power transfer and secure foot positioning for competitive riding conditions.

• Shimano ULTREAD XC Outsole – Lightweight rubber with technical tread pattern provides exceptional grip on wet and slippery terrain
• Carbon Sole/Midsole – Carbon fiber composite construction maximizes stiffness for efficient pedaling while maintaining low stack height
• Seamless Midsole Structure – Low-profile design stabilizes pedaling strokes and maximizes power transmission
• Hollow-Channel Outsole – Ultra-rigid lightweight construction reduces weight without sacrificing support
• Reinforced Spike Mount – Designed for extreme conditions with additional reinforcement for cleats
• Synthetic Leather Upper – Durable material lighter and stronger than natural leather
