What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I reach for the RX801 Rally when the route gets wild. The ankle cuff is awesome—keeps rocks, sand, and debris from getting in, and it feels surprisingly natural while pedaling. The BOA dial gives a super clean fit, and the carbon sole is stiff enough for real race efforts. The outsole grips well for hike-a-bike sections too. It’s basically the RX801 built for rougher, rowdier terrain."We rely on the RX801 Rally Gravel Bike Shoe when our gravel goals stretch into unpredictable terrain and variable conditions. Its lightweight build feels fast and responsive, yet the integrated knit ankle cuff adds a layer of protection that helps keep out sand, debris, and splashes when the route gets rugged. The BOA Li2 dial delivers a secure, evenly tensioned fit, helping us stay locked in as we push over rolling gravel or hammer through technical sections. Underfoot, the carbon composite sole provides the stiffness we need for powerful accelerations and efficient cruising, while the high-grip rubber outsole offers confident traction anytime we’re off the bike navigating rocky pitches or stream crossings. With its blend of race-ready efficiency and real-world durability, the RX801 Rally becomes a trusted companion for long adventure rides, early-season training, and mixed-terrain exploration.
