Its enveloping upper and integrated, seamless **carbon midsole** provide precise fit, high stability and efficient power transfer. Two independently operating **BOA L6** dial closures allow quick micro-adjustments even while riding. According to manufacturer specifications, the stiffness rating is 10/12, with a weight of approximately 255g per shoe in size 42, making it particularly interesting for ambitious Swiss road cyclists. - Enveloping, minimally overlapping upper made from high-density synthetic leather with ventilation perforations for secure hold and good climate - Ultra-stiff, hollow **carbon midsole** with air channel and drainage openings for cooling and water drainage - Two **BOA L6** dial closures for quick, finely adjustable tension control - Adjustable Powerzone wire guide stabilises the forefoot during sprints and attacks - Compatible with **SPD-SL** cleats (3-hole), ideal for Shimano road pedals - Available in standard and wide lasts as well as half sizes (depending on size) and in **white** - Stiffness index 10/12; reference weight approx. 255g (EU 42) ## Technical Details and Functions The RC7 combines an integrated, seamless **midsole/upper construction** with **Surround Wrapping** architecture, reducing material overlaps and minimising pressure points. The hollow **carbon midsole** channels fresh air in and directs moisture and water away through defined channels, which provides noticeable benefits during long summer rides as well as in Alpine rain. The fit is based on **SHIMANO DYNALAST**, a last technology with optimised toe spring that supports a more uniform, energy-efficient pedal stroke. Combined with the **SPD-SL** system, this creates a wide, stable contact surface that distributes pedalling force evenly and promotes endurance over long distances. The interplay of BOA micro-fine adjustment, forefoot powerzone and stiff platform delivers direct, controlled pedal feel during sprints, climbs and steady tempo. ## Applications and Benefits The RC7 is designed for sporty road cycling use in Switzerland – from training rounds around Lake Zurich to long Alpine passes and marathons. Its stiff structure with index 10/12 supports efficient **power transfer**, while ventilation and drainage excel during weather changes between sunshine and summer storms. The **SPD-SL** system offers a secure, direct connection to the pedal and ensures stable load distribution even under high stress. Thanks to the dual **BOA L6** dial closures, the fit can be fine-tuned on the go, for instance when the foot changes during the course of a tour. Those who value precise cleat positioning additionally benefit from the wide SPD-SL cleat selection with different **float** options. ## Fit and Sizing Information For optimal fit, the RC7 is available in standard and **wide** variants as well as many half sizes, ensuring different foot shapes are properly accommodated. The dual **BOA L6** dial closures allow separate zone adjustment over the instep and forefoot, improving hold during out-of-saddle efforts. Shimano positions the RC7 below the S-PHYRE top models but retains key technologies and combines them with practical robustness. Official specifications cite a reference weight of around 255g in EU 42 and confirm the high stiffness with index 10/12, underlining the balance of comfort and directness in sporty use. For road cyclists who use **SPD-SL** pedals, the RC7 is thus a high-performance, fit-secure choice in the mid-price segment. ## Variants - variant-1358: out of stock - variant-1357: in stock - variant-1355: in stock - variant-1354: in stock --- Source: https://kilometro.ch/en/products/shoes-25/mens-road-sh-rc7-shoe-spd-sl-white-564
