However, we wonder how many athletes have achieved an efficient stroke to convert their power into maximum propulsion. SHIMANO thinks there might be very few. From such a point of view, Shimano Rowing Dynamics (SRD) has been designed.

SRD is novel rowing gear pursuing the mechanisms to transform a rower's performance efficiently into boat propulsion. We focused on the undeniable power-loss incurred by conventional stretcher and shoe structures, and finally reached a conclusion with ""two spectacular aspects"" that surely enhance performance.

Now, SHIMANO has launched a stroke into the World of Rowing with its world-renown cycling technology.
