We’ve got some exciting footwear news to share with you from Shimano with not just one, but two new introductions with their all-new series of Gravity footwear – in both Enduro (GE) and Flat (GF) models.
GRAVITY ENDURO SERIES FOOTWEAR
Take total control in technical terrain with Shimano’s new GE series footwear, delivering uncompromised performance for aggressive trail and downhill riding.
Inspired by the modern mountain biker, Shimano introduces an all-new series of SPD-compatible footwear that optimizes on-bike control in technical terrain and enhanced grip on slippery hike-a-bike sections. The Gravity Enduro (GE) lineup delivers a fully re-vamped range of footwear featuring the new ULTREAD GE outsole. Find the flow in rugged, technical terrain with the uncompromised comfort and control of Shimano’s all-new GE footwear.
Shimano GE900 – Flagship Gravity Race SPD Shoe
Shimano’s benchmark, high-end gravity shoe, the GE900 features a TORBAL 2.0 midsole that allows the heel section to move torsionally, maintaining full range of motion for improved comfort, fluidity, and on-bike control. A full-length EVA midsole reinforced with carbon reduces weight and enhances pedalling efficiency. Featuring a BOA® Fit System with shield and instep strap, the GE900 deliver quick and precise closure and superior foot hold for aggressive pedalling over rough terrain.
A neoprene ankle collar keeps trail debris out, while the robust, quick-drying synthetic leather upper with mesh window stands up to the roughest terrain and helps keep you cool. An enduro-optimized ULTREAD GE outsole delivers enhanced grip on slippery hike-a-bike sections and has a molded pedal channel that provides a stable shoe-to-pedal connection even when riding unclipped on technical terrain.
