Shimano hot-steps into 2024 with three new S-Phyre models

Shimano hot-steps into 2024 with three new S-Phyre models

Shimano is releasing three new models of it’s top-end S-Phyre shoe line for 2024. The most notable is arguably the S-Phyre TR903, Shimano’s first S-Phyre-level triathlon shoe. A new white road shoe that adds what can only be described as unicorn sparkle accents will likely also turn heads, on shelves and and at mid-ride coffee stops.

Shimano isn’t releasing too many details about the new line, but there will be three models. The 2024 S-Phyre XC903 is the continuation of Shimano’s cross country and cyclocross race shoe. The RC903PWR is the road and track shoe designed for “track racers, sprinters and time-trial specialists” which Shimano says is tuned for high-power efforts. The S-Phyre TR903, with its quick-release velcro, is the tri shoe.

The road and XC/CX models look to offer refinements on the existing models instead of trying to re-invent the … shoe. With the XC903,  for instance, they look very close to the existing XC902 model. There are some slight changes to the sole and some more significant structural changes to the construction of the uppers. All the shoes look to get upgrades to the latest version of Boa’s dials.

More details will surely follow. For now, here’s what little Shimano has to say about its new speed slippers:
