Centuries and Fondos: Shimano RP9
Gran fondos are mass start, timed long-distance events that appeal to both competitive and recreational weekend warriors. Designed for fondos, the Shimano RP9 features a heat-moldable upper that allows riders to customize the fit to their feet, and a carbon-fiber sole that provides stiffness and efficient power transfer. Two Velcro straps and a buckle allow for mid-ride adjustments, and vents on the toe and sole keep air moving through the shoes. Perhaps most importantly, the shoes come in all-black or all-white, a minimalist aesthetic that’s both classic and modern. [$275; shimano-lifestylegear.com]
