Why We Like The RX801 Rally Mountain Bike Shoe
The Shimano RX801 Rally combines the best features from their high-end road and mountain shoes into the ultimate gravel racing shoe. The carbon composite sole is the stiffest in Shimano's gravel shoe lineup ensuring that all of our leg power is transmitted into forward motion. The low profile BOA dials and forefoot strap let us dial in our fit just right, while the ultra-light TPU lugs ensure a sure grip off the bike. The RX801 Rally sets itself apart with the stretchy knit ankle cuff to keep stones and dirt out when racing heats up.

All the right features for gravel
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
The main thing I hate about gravel riding is getting pebbles in my shoe. These do an amazing job at solving that problem while being ultra-light and even airy to boot. As someone with finicky feet, I usually stay away from shoes with only a single BOA, but somehow the lacing pattern of these does a great job of reducing the usual pressure points that single BOA shoes create. My only gripe is that the Orange is more Copper, but oh well. The cleat adjustment range is pretty small compared to a lot of other shoes though, so beware if you're at the extreme ends of your current shoes' adjustment.
