XC300W and XC100W
Shimano is introducing two new colors to its women’s specific XC MTB high-performance racing shoe for its Spring-Summer 2024 collection. Offering a natural and comfortable fit, the XC300W will now be available in bronze, in addition to its existing black colorway, and includes an advanced fit and pedalling technology, alongside the off-set center flap mounted BOA® L6 dial closure that creates a sleek profile for those quick micro-adjustments that BOA is known for. The dials and straps can be easily adjusted across the top of your foot, ensuring your foot feels stable on the pedals and on the trail.
The XC100W, already available in black, will now have a mahogany color available, and will include similar features as the XC300W, but with a perforated synthetic leather composite upper enabling a superior fit and breathability. A lightweight glass fiber reinforced nylon sole ensures a smooth power transfer out on the trail, while a rubber XC racing pattern outsole promotes stable pedal engagement and secure walking grip. Three durable hook and loop straps will ensure even distribution across the top of the foot. The offset strap also relieves tension at the highest point of foot, ensuring a comfortable all-day ride out on the trail.
Both shoes are made on Shimano’s DYNALAST system, making sure the foot is securely held in place and creates a comfortable fit, that will reduce power loss at the pedal, and lessen fatigue during long rides. A toe-spring section reduces tension in your feet, calves and hamstrings.
