XC903 S-PHYRE Cycling Shoe - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The fit is laser precise, and the heel hold is bombproof—even during out-of-saddle efforts. These shoes just feel fast, and the carbon sole really makes a difference in energy transfer over long courses."

The Shimano XC903 S-PHYRE sets the gold standard in off-road race footwear, engineered for elite XC and cyclocross riders chasing every watt. At its core, a stiff carbon sole pairs with a low stack height midsole to create a highly efficient pedaling platform—one that converts power into motion with minimal loss. Shimano’s Surround Wrapping upper hugs the foot for uniform tension, delivering all-day comfort with exceptional rigidity.

Two BOA Li2 dials with a cross-over lacing system offer precise micro-adjustments, while a recessed lower dial stays protected from trail debris. An anti-twist heel cup ensures your foot remains planted during high-cadence bursts and accelerations, helping you stay connected and in control through rough terrain.

Traction off the bike is equally impressive thanks to Shimano’s ULTREAD XC rubber outsole and a race-tuned lug pattern that grips mud, rocks, and roots. Lightweight, breathable, and race-proven, the XC903 is built for podiums and peak performance—every feature honed for speed, comfort, and control.
