Perfect Harmony
RA is a versatile climbing shoe created to achieve a perfect balance between ultimate responsiveness and maximum transfer of power from the toes when standing on tiny footholds. RA’s beautifully simple and uncluttered design is not only spectacularly effective in all forms of climbing but also supremely comfortable, making climbing feel easier and more intuitive.
- Rigidity (3,5/5): More rigid and structured shoes,more power can be transmitted to the rock.
- Sensitivity (3,5/5): The more sensitive a shoe is, the more information gets transferred to the climber about the shape and the characteristics of the foot holds , giving a sensation of closer contact with the rock.
- Foot width response (3/5): This is the capacity of the shoe to adapt to the width of your foot. This capacity is not only determinate by the width of the sole, in some cases a shoe with a narrow sole displays a great capacity to adapt to a wider foot.
- SXR Dynamics: Technology that increases the dynamic response of the shoe improving its ability to adapt to different rock shapes and greater precision and comfort.
Ramon Julian and Ra. Two-times World Champion.
- Passionate about his sport, the two-time World Champion Ramon Julia is one of the very few climbers who excel both on rock and in competitions, reaching maximum levels in each discipline. In RA Ramon finds the precision he needs for top competitions and cutting edge sport-routes on rock, as well as the comfort he needs for all-day training sessions. Tested and re-tested on the world’s most difficult routes the RA has reached iconic status across all five continents.
Power, Precision, Balance
- Constructed on a 4 mm rubber outer sole and a five-layer insole, the RA is rigid enough for tiny edges while providing sufficient flexibility and responsiveness for the most tenuous of smears.
Closer to the rock
- Every aspect of the Ra’s design enables greater precision and usability. Its bellows tongue facilitates rapid fitting and removal.
In-motion fit
- SXR Dynamics includes the system of adjustment in movement developed by Tenaya that allows a greater precision and freedom in each one of your movements.
Sticky rubber reinforcement
- The RA features sticky rubber reinforcements to both the forefoot and instep, which not only increases abrasion resistance, but also adds structure and support in these areas of the shoe. Together with the RA’s asymmetric shape and glove-like fit, this allows for greater precision on tiny edges.
More advantages
- Rubber reinforced toe-box for increased abrasion resistance and superior toe-hooking.
- Easy to wear and obtain maximum precision on all types of difficult-to-use footholds.
- The perfect balance of features providing excellent performance and all day comfort.
- Moderately curved and precisely adjustable.
Recommended use
- Vertical and moderately overhanging routes. Equally suited to bouldering.
