S-PHYRE XC903W: uncompromising competition for women
The new XC903W S-PHYRE are the top-of-the-range model for women's mountain biking from the brand. Sharing all the technical innovations of the successful XC903, this version is specifically adapted to the female foot, offering superior comfort, precise fit, and total stability, essential for performing at the highest level in XCO and cyclocross.
Equipped with a low-profile double BOA® Li2 dial, they allow for precise and quick micro-adjustments even on the go. The heel cup with anti-torsion stabilizer ensures a firm and stable fit under high-intensity efforts, while the perforated upper improves breathability and adapts to different foot shapes. The ULTREAD XC rubber sole, with a specific technical tread, guarantees superior traction on difficult terrain. In addition, its carbon sole with a stiffness index of 11 and low stack height offers optimal power transfer and greater pedaling efficiency.
