Simple, light, fast and comfortable, and brilliant value too

For £20 less than its Shimano sibling the R086, the R076 gives you the same stiff fibreglass-reinforced and vented sole, the same foot-hugging cut and exactly the same uppers.

You don’t get such a well-padded tongue and there is no ratcheting lever with quick release on the top strap. In practice though, this means you get an excellent performing, comfortable shoe at a great price and an even lighter weight.

Three Velcro straps might look low rent, but really how much better is a ratchet buckle than a strap if the shoe is a good fit for you anyway? And just think of the whole 48g that you’re saving over the R086.

Product "34215" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
