SHIMANO GE – GRAVITY ENDURO – SHOE LINEUP
Get rowdy on rugged DH tracks. Go big on backcountry epics. Smash out more laps on the local trails. Shimano's new GE Gravity Enduro MTB shoes come from 30+ years of clipless pedal expertise. They are purpose-built for precision control and uncompromising performance for aggressive trail, enduro, and downhill riding.
Whether it’s the chundry chutes of the World Cup circuit, the rowdy stages of the EWS, or local hardcore trails around the world, Shimano’s GE Mountain Bike shoes are born to help make your mark on the trail.
SPD TECHNOLOGY FOR A CLIPPED-IN SOLID CONNECTION
Shimano changed the off-road cycling game three decades ago with the introduction of Shimano Pedaling Dynamics (SPD), ushering in a new era of efficiency, control, and connection between rider and bike. The SPD clipless pedal platform is fine-tunable and engineered for ultimate power transfer and control. When the conditions get mucky, SPD is made to better shed mud and debris for reliable clipless function, no matter the weather.
ULTREAD GE OUTSOLE FOR DURABLE TRACTION AND SURE FOOTING
Shimano’s new ULTREAD GE outsole excels in the rough and tough demands of aggressive enduro, downhill, and trail riding. When it’s time to earn those turns, the updated tread pattern has the traction and stability for DH track walks, high alpine hike-a-bikes, or for sessioning the local jump line. The design mixes a sturdy rubber compound and smart tread pattern for better grip and robust protection on and off the bike.
SHIMANO GE900 – THE ULTIMATE GRAVITY RACE SHOE
Shimano’s flagship SPD-compatible gravity shoe is ideal for aggressive gravity racing and riding. Built on a carbon-reinforced TORBAL 2.0 midsole, the GE900 is made to boost bike control and efficiency when every hundredth of a second counts. Featuring a BOA Fit System with a top shield and instep strap, the GE900 delivers quick and precise closure and superior foot retention for aggressive, secure pedaling over rough terrain.
A neoprene ankle collar adds extra coverage and protection, while the robust, quick-drying synthetic leather upper with mesh window keeps feet cool while still holding up in rough terrain. An enduro-optimized ULTREAD GE outsole delivers enhanced grip on slippery hike-a-bike sections and has a molded pedal channel that provides a stable shoe-to-pedal connection even when riding unclipped through techy sections.
SHIMANO GE700 – THE EXCELLENT TRAIL RIDER AND RACER
Whether racing for the podiums or out pedaling with the local crew, the GE700 confidently tackles technical terrain and whatever it takes to reach it. Like the benchmark GE900, these shoes feature Shimano’s TORBAL 2.0 midsole, allowing for steering precision and better control through techy or all-out speed sections.
The ULTREAD GE outsole boosts grip on slick roots, rocks, and mud. It also has a molded SPD pedal channel for a superior connection between the shoe and the bike. The GE700 combines a lacing system with an instep strap for fine-tunable foot retention that protects the foot more from rocks and other trail debris.
SHIMANO GE500 – A PERFORMANCE SHOE FOR EVERY TRAIL
Tackle challenging trails with confidence with the GE500 gravity shoe. Thanks to trickle-down trail technology from the full Gravity Enduro lineup, these shoes deliver performance and comfort for any trail and any rider. These shoes have the same TORBAL 2.0 midsole design as the GE900 and GE700, enhancing heel security and movement for on-bike control and fit.
They also use Shimano's ULTREAD GE outsole, boosting grip and sure-footedness on and off the bike. The breathable fabric upper keeps feet cooler, while a raised ankle collar for some extra protection when the going gets chunky. The midfoot SPD cleat channel improves stability and bike control, while layered half-length EVA foam better absorbs impacts on hard landings and unexpected get-offs. To top it all off, the skate-style laces and massive instep strap optimize fit and comfort wherever the trail winds.
SHIMANO GF – GRAVITY FLAT – SHOE LINEUP
Shimano’s Gravity Flat MTB shoes give riders the ideal blend of connectedness and freedom, from foot-out-flat-out descents to sure-footed hike-a-bikes. Born from three decades of offroad footwear expertise, the GF series is built for confidence in technical, rugged terrain while delivering premium flat pedal performance for aggressive trail and downhill riding.
ULTREAD GF OUTSOLE FOR DURABLE TRACTION AND SURE FOOTING
Delivering grip and control when it counts the most, Shimano’s new ULTREAD GF outsole headlines the Gravity Flat shoe range and meets the demands of aggressive downhill and trail riding. The slow rebound rubber compound and wide hexagonal tread pattern provide secure pin engagement and multi-direction stability, all while maintaining the freedom of foot movement in critical moments.
SHIMANO GF800 GTX – WET WEATHER FLAT PEDAL SHOE
Shimano's wet-weather-ready GF800 GTX flat pedal shoe keeps you rolling in foul weather and the toughest conditions. The GORE-TEX waterproof membrane and mid-cut ankle sock liner keep feet dry, while the BOA L6 dial is easily adjustable even with gloved fingers.
SHIMANO GF600 – TRAIL-READY FLAT PEDAL SHOE
Shimano’s benchmark flat pedal shoe delivers control in technical, rugged terrain. The heavy-duty synthetic leather upper provides breathability and protection, while the reinforced lacing system provides a more adaptive fit for comfort and precision riding.
SHIMANO GF400 – CONFIDENCE-BOOSTING FLAT PEDAL SHOE
Shimano's flat pedal trail shoe for the masses is built with a half-length EVA midsole for more cushion and comfort on and off the bike. The raised, padded ankle collar offers extra protection, and the lacing system allows for a flexible precision fit, for many shapes and sizes.
The entire Shimano GE and GF family is purpose-built with the following technologies and designs, which trickle down throughout the lineup:
TORBAL 2.0 MIDSOLE FOR CONTROL, STABILITY AND EFFICIENCY
TORBAL 2.0 provides a predictable, stable platform that enhances control through tight lines and technical, high-speed sections of the trail. Shimano R&D analyzed the micro-movements of a shoe's midsole and developed an original structure with targeted rigidity and flexibility in different zones. The midsole increases steering stability and control by maintaining center stiffness and allowing side flexibility.
VOLUME TRAIL LAST FOR A SECURE, COMFORTABLE FIT
The VOLUME TRAIL LAST balances secure pedaling performance with the comfort to go wherever the trail leads. The last provides a snug fit around the ball of the foot to allow for precision control through techy trails with enhanced power transfer for clearing sections or grinding to the top. The extra room for the toes and heels makes these shoes equally comfortable for walking around the campsite or hoofing it up a hike-a-bike to get to the good stuff.
