SHIMANO R X 8 £219.99

★★★★☆

Shimano’s dedicated gravel shoe strips away the unnecessary aspects of a mountain bike or cross-country shoe and brings across the shaping and fit from its excellent S-Phyre road shoe. The result is road-light at 628g a pair (size EU 45) with a sole that has TPU rubber grip sections and a covering to protect the carbon. The sole has a little give making them easy to walk in.
