SHIMANO unveils a bold new assortment of enduro gravity shoes engineered for the most demanding riders and harshest conditions. Leading the charge is the new GE900HS (Hot Seat), a race-ready shoe built for gravity pros who demand maximum efficiency and control. Shimano also delivers elite-level performance in a women’s-specific design with the GE900W, while the GE900GTX introduces all-weather protection without compromising on-bike control. Rounding out the collection are the GF800 and GF800W, tuned for flat-pedal riders seeking better control with a comfortable and durable design. Each shoe is purpose-built to deliver control, stability, and performance where it matters most.
SHIMANO GE900HS
Built for total rider control and all-out confidence on technical terrain, the GE900HS (as in Hot Seat) is the go-to choice for pro-level enduro and downhill racers—or anyone pushing limits on the trail. A new upper construction combined with a BOA Li2 dial delivers a locked-in feel, helping riders stay secure in the shoes when pushing into corners and navigating fast, demanding descents. With new FORCE CONTROL midsole construction combined with a 25% increase in EVA midsole hardness enhances torsional stiffness and stability, the GE900HS provides the solid foundation riders need to apply power to the pedals and confidently manipulate the bike through rough terrain and aggressive lines.
• SPD-Compatible Gravity Shoe for Top Downhill Racers: The GE900HS is the optimal choice for downhill and enduro racing where even 0.1 seconds can make the difference.
• Stiffness and Stability: New Force Control midsole construction with carbon-reinforced nylon is stiffer than standard GE900, delivering a more stable pedalling platform.
• ULTREAD GE: Enduro-optimized outsole provides enhanced grip on slick hike-a-bike sections, and its extended SPD landing strip enables smooth and fast pedal engagement.
• Micro-Adjustable BOA® Fit System: Slimmed-down BOA Li2 dial with shield features dual micro-adjustability, and it utilizes textile lace guides that are hidden between the upper and tongue.
• Armoured Design: Ankle collar keeps trail debris out, while the robust, quick-drying synthetic leather upper with perforations stands up to the roughest terrain and helps keep you cool.
