Shimano has been making dedicated triathlon footwear for 13 years, and they have learned a thing or two along the way. The Shimano SH-TR901 is lightweight with a stiff carbon fiber composite sole and a stability-enhancing dual- density, cupped insole. The result is 10 out of 12 stiffness rating for optimum power transfer and a cushioning effect to prepare feet for the final grueling leg of any triathlon.
Made with synthetic leather upper the SH-TR901 is more durable and stretch-resistant and has perforations in the upper providing an air intake and exhaust system. This, along with a three-layer ventilation mesh on the upper, allow feet to breathe and dry post-swim. The SH-TR901 has an anatomical toe-cap which also allows air intake whilst maintaining rigidity and durability.
Combined with 11mm of SPD-SL cleat adjustability, the sole construction offers an additional 11mm of adjustment, doubling the standard front and back cleat setting range to help you find the ideal shoe-to-pedal fit. The new design also features an addition of a second Velcro strap on the front of the shoe, offering a more customized fit.
To help riders make time gains in those all-important transitions, the TR9 features a hook-and-loop Velcro Quick Strap, extra-wide collar, and off-set Quick Loop on the heel, all of which simplify foot entry and quicken the rider’s transition onto and off the bike.
Features:
- T1-Quick strap and extra-wide upper opening simplifies and quickens transitions.
- Lightweight, rigid carbon fiber composite sole efficiently transfers power.
- Water-resistant microfiber synthetic leather with strategic venting.
- Breathable 3D mesh breathes great and dries fast.
- External heel cup stabilizes heel.
