Shimano S-PHYRE Collection
Footwear
New footwear concept showcases Shimano’s finest design, engineering and materials
The result of extensive development and testing with elite road, cyclocross and mountain bike athletes, Shimano announces its new S-PHYRE line of elite performance cycling footwear. An ambitious concept aligned with Shimano’s aim to create the most technologically advanced cycling solutions available, S-PHYRE has one goal: to maximize power transmission by delivering more performance per gram, minimizing aerodynamic drag and refining efficiencies between the bike, footwear and rider. New S-PHYRE performance cycling shoes also include complementary socks for road, cross-country and cyclocross racing.
The one-piece outer on S-PHYRE footwear is made from supple, stretch-resistant and highly breathable Teijin Avail microfiber synthetic leather with perforated dimple vents, that are even more flexible, providing a glove-like fit. The surround wrap upper also better accommodates a wider range of foot shapes, now enabling up to E+ wide widths in a standard size. Accentuating the all-new upper design, two independent Boa IP1 dials with Powerzone wire lacing allow for quick and precise micro-adjustments.
New S-PHYRE footwear features a new outsole construction technique that eliminates the lasting board, reducing weight and the stack height, resulting in improved stability and increased power transfer. Additionally, an external heel cup suppresses foot twist and roll, allowing for maximized power output through the ultra-rigid carbon sole.
Tall Sock
By looking at the shoe/sock interface and applying our Linkage Effect approach, S-PHYRE socks combine thermoregulation, comfort, ankle roll stability, and heel slip-resistance with an extra-tall cuff that’s guaranteed not to droop. Asymmetrical structural weaving of proprietary fabrics provides guiderails for proper foot alignment through the entire 360-degree crank rotation. And you thought a sock was just a sock. By the way, they look great with S-PHYRE shoes, and work even better too.

S-PHYRE Glove
At Shimano, we know more than a little bit about how the hand-to-glove-to-shifter/hood interface should function. We know the more seamless, the better. And S-PHYRE gloves deliver more engineering and features into the palm of your hand than any glove we have brought to market.
S-PHYRE gloves feature a pre-curved design for the most conforming fit possible. The softest yet most durable palm material combines with a one-piece-variable-lint panel to optimally connect your hand to the shifter/hood position.

Bib Short
Bib shorts were originally designed for a smoother, seamless fit at the waist, but S-PHYRE shorts smooth out the entire fit across the thigh as well. The fabric is precision-knitted for compression, ventilation and moisture management.
A completely new S-PHYRE chamois has been developed for 2017. Its articulated rear section allows a freer range of motion and decreased power required to turn over the pedals. Graphics are knitted in, rather than applied, printed or sublimated. That means no hot spots. No compromise in compression. Nothing that gets in the way of fast.
FEATURES
- SEAMLESS CONSTRUCTION
- ZERO-LOSS INTERFACE
- INTEGRATED GRIPPER
MATERIAL
- Main body: 65% Polyamide, 33% Elastane, 2% Polyester

Short Sleeve Jersey
The shoulders of a jersey are the leading edge areas where resistance and turbulence are created if the wind detects even one micron of extra fabric. S-PHYRE jersey’s first-to-market one-piece seamless design reduces drag while still being incredibly comfortable. After all, you need to be comfortable to be fast.
FEATURES
- SEAMLESS 3D SHOULDER
- LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT
- ANATOMICAL POCKET PLACEMENT
MATERIAL
- 75% Polyester, 25% Elastane

Racing Skin Suit
There is a reason pro riders use skin suits to perform at their best. Combining the bib and jersey into one piece delivers better fit, better aerodynamics, less weight, fewer seams and improved moisture management. While S-PHYRE skin suits are engineered in Shimano’s innovation lab and tested in the wind tunnel to provide maximum resistance reduction in the riding posture, they aren’t just for pro-level racers. They’re for elite riders in everyday applications.
