Back in June, we spotted John Degenkolb sporting an interesting unbranded pair of kicks. We took an educated guess that they were Shimano's latest race level shoe, but it was a few months before that claim would be confirmed.
All has now been revealed and we've just got our mitts (or feet rather) on a pair of the new Shimano S-Phyre RC9 road shoes.

Shimano S-Phyre RC9 highlights
- 545g in size 45
- BOA dial closures
- Replaceable heel pad
- Adjustable insole
- No heat moldability
- One-piece synthetic leather upper
- Integrated sock system
- £TBC / $400 /AU$449
There's not much branding on the shoe.
Claimed to be Shimano's lightest shoe to date, the S-Phyre RC 9 tips our scales at 545g in a size 45. While the shoe sneaks in just below the R321 (578g, size 44), it just doesn't quite compete with some of the weight weenie favourites like the S-Works (440g, size 45) and Giro Prolight SLX (410g, size 45).
