Key Features of SQ-RC903 Cycling Shoes
1. Mercerized Knit and TPU Upper
The SQ-RC903 features a mercerized knit and TPU upper with an integrated open-knit construction. Its smooth texture creates a clean, premium look, while the ventilated structure helps release excess heat during rides.
- Breathable construction: Open-knit areas promote airflow around the foot.
- Comfortable fit: The upper is designed to follow the contours of the foot and help reduce unnecessary movement.
- Refined appearance: The smooth, lustrous finish gives the shoes a distinctive visual identity.
- Easy-care surface: The material’s smooth finish helps simplify routine cleaning.
2. Carbon-Nylon Composite Sole for Road Cycling
The road version uses a carbon-nylon composite sole designed to provide a stiff, stable platform for pedaling. Its structure helps limit excessive sole flex under load and supports efficient power transfer to compatible road pedals.
With a stiffness index of 8–9, the SQ-RC903 is a suitable option for brands developing performance-oriented road cycling footwear.
A separate flat-pedal version is also available with a PE nylon midsole and stiffened rubber outsole. Please confirm the required sole configuration when placing an inquiry.

3. Rotary Closure System for Adjustable Fit
The rotary closure system allows riders to adjust shoe tightness with a simple turning mechanism. It provides a convenient alternative to traditional lace-only closures and helps achieve a more secure, adjustable fit.
Riders can fine-tune the fit according to their comfort preferences and riding conditions.
4. Ergonomic Fit for Comfortable Riding
The SQ-RC903 is designed around the natural contours of the foot to help reduce unnecessary movement inside the shoe. Combined with its ventilated knit upper, the design supports a comfortable feel for regular cycling and casual riding.
