February 07, 2019 – Taking its name from one of nature’s most majestic sights, the new S-Phyre Aurora range shares several characteristics with its namesake Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights): a rare and magical display of colour that fascinates all who see it!

Just 250 pairs of the new Aurora S-Phyre RC9 shoe will be available in North America, not including the seven pairs seen on the feet of Team Jumbo-Visma at this year’s Tour Down Under.

The new Aurora S-Phyre RC9 shoe shares exactly the same high performance DNA as the current black, blue and green S-Phyre RC9 designs except with a shimmering blue, purple and turquoise Teijin Avail synthetic leather one-piece outer which appears to change colour as light reflects from the shoe.

Complementing the footwear is the wide one-piece optimally Polarized (PL) Japanese Teijin Policarbonate lens and the ultra-lightweight frames of the new Aurora S-Phyre R. These glasses take on the same shimmering blue, purple and turquoise colour scheme to complete the limited edition Aurora look.

The Aurora S-Phyre RC9 shoes weigh 232g and are available in sizes 36-48 (including half sizes and wide fitting options). Aurora S-Phyre eyewear weighs a featherweight 25.6g. Both footwear and eyewear will be available at selected Shimano S-Phyre dealers from late February 2019.

RC9 Footwear MSRP: $499.99
S-Phyre Aurora Eyewear MSRP: $199.99

– Rebec & Kroes (Ottawa)
