SHIMANO GE900GTX MTB Shoes

The GE9 with added weather protection: The GE900GTX MTB/Enduro shoes from SHIMANO are made for gravity riders looking for stiffness, a rough profile, secure grip on the pedals and a robust, waterproof finish.

From the sole to the shaft, these bike shoes are designed for fast-paced trail action. The TORBAL 2.0 midsole makes them particularly flexible in the heel area, while the carbon-reinforced midsole provides high stability during downhill racing. Thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane on the shoe and sock, moisture and dirt are kept out. The proven BOA closure system enables individual, precise and one-handed adjustments. What’s more, the SPD system on the GE9 GTX ensures direct power transfer to the pedals and improved efficiency. Trails ahead: The grippy ULTREAD GE outer sole makes this bike shoe an adventurer!

Highlights & Technologies:

GORE-TEX: Everybody knows it and everybody appreciates it. The GORE-TEX membrane with its three-layer technology is a true classic for outdoor textiles, as it is water- and windproof. Its optimized breathability and low material weight offer a high level of comfort.

BOA L6:
The closure system consists of dials and textile wires that allow for precise adjustments. This combination allows cyclists to even adjust the shoes while riding. As there are no Velcro straps, the front part of the shoe is well-ventilated. The shoes can be closed by pushing and turning the dials in the direction of travel. The laces loosen by pulling the dial.

TORBAL 2.0:
The TORBAL system improves balance and control. Being integrated into the midsole, it allows for some lateral movement. The highlight of TORBAL 2.0: In the second version, the torsional, flexible material extends over the entire midsole and thus offers even better bike control. The rider's natural movement remains unrestricted, while stability is improved.

ULTREAD GE:
Lightweight rubber outer sole with optimal tread for fast-paced enduro action. Traction and stability when walking and pedalling are the focus of this outer sole, so shoes with this sole are ideal for MTB and bikepacking tours. The great traction is made possible by the wide forefoot, the lightweight rubber compound and the contoured toe profile.
