Shimano\u2019s new RX6 SH-RX600 gravel cycling shoes<\/a> sit alongside the existing RX8 gravel shoe<\/a>, offering a lower price point in an almost visually indistinguishable package.<\/p>\n

The new shoes feature a single Boa L6 dial and a Velcro strap over the toe box.<\/p>\n

The synthetic upper is perforated to increase breathability. The carbon reinforced nylon midsole features a vent at the front and rear of the shoe.<\/p>\n

Moulded lugs in a handsome almost tan wall<\/a> finish off the shoe. Our size 43 shoes weigh 576g a pair.<\/p>\n

The shoe is a little less stiff than the existing RX8.<\/span><\/figcaption> Jack Luke \/ Our Media<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

In the hand, the RX600 shoes have a little more flex around the heel compared to the existing RX8 shoes. How much of a difference this will actually make to performance is debatable<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The shoes are available in the pictured Forest Green, as well as in black and a brown-ish camo. The shoes are also available in a women\u2019s fit option (RX6W).<\/p>\n
