Rapha Explore Powerweave Gravel Cycling Shoes
Conquer any terrain with the Rapha Explore Powerweave Gravel Cycling Shoes. From multi-day off-road adventures to high-intensity one-day gravel races, the Explore Powerweave provide incredibly efficient pedalling and supreme long-distance comfort. The proprietary Powerweave upper is remarkably light and supple but also impressively durable thanks to reinforcement from TPU yarns. This tough and supportive upper is complemented by the BOA® Li2 adjustment system. This gives precise and easy control of the fit of your shoes, dialling in comfort with the simple twist of each Li2 dial.
The lightweight carbon footplate allows you to ride with optimal efficiency, transferring your watts to the pedals with minimal fuss. Off the bike, the flex at the toe allows for more comfortable walking and the high-traction rubber sole provides tenacious all-terrain grip. A reinforced heel boosts durability and arch support can be tailored to suit your specific foot shape.

About Rapha
For the glory and the suffering of the road.
Rapha was born in London in 2004 to celebrate the glory and suffering of road cycling. Two decades on, the brand still designs every garment around the same belief: that great kit, beautifully made, transforms the experience of riding.
Rapha garments are designed and tested by the team that wears them. Premium fabrics, considered cuts, a lifetime crash-replacement policy on the Pro Team range — every detail is built around a long relationship with the rider, not a single season.
