Cycling shoes Northwave Extreme XC GTX MTB

Northwave devotes all its energy to one single goal – creating the best products for cycling. By focusing on one goal, we create innovative products that are unmatched in performance, quality, design and style.

Northwave Extreme XC GTX MTB cycling shoes keep your feet warm thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane, so you can ride comfortably in winter. Power is transferred by the XC12 carbon-fibre sole, with 100 % carbon-fibre inserts in the pedal area and a stiffness index of 12,0 (a measurement indicating stiffness on a scale from 0 to 15). Strategically positioned TPU inserts provide high grip and abrasion resistance. The upper has a patented ultra-light XFrame structure and an overlay construction made from the most advanced materials: it wraps around the foot without pressure points, helping to transfer every watt of power while eliminating energy dispersion. The weight of the rubber reinforcements has been reduced (5 %). They are also abrasion-resistant and provide 360 degrees of protection along the entire upper part of the shoe.

The SLW2 dial ensures easy and even fastening. It is the only one with gradual release, allowing lace tension to be adjusted with millimetre precision. The new Easyfit Climaflex upper combines the exceptional flexibility of the Gore-Tex Rattler membrane with the high thermal insulation of neoprene, providing mobility and protection. The anatomical shape and firm thermoformed insole ensure heel fit and positioning. The Arctic 4Layer insole, made from Eva + aluminium + Eva + Pile, provides excellent thermal insulation. For greater safety, 360 degrees reflective inserts ensure excellent visibility on the road.

TECHNOLOGIES

Carbon fibre XC 12 – Extremely stiff when pedalling, as the pedal area has a full carbon-fibre insert, while extra flex in the middle section provides an advantage over long distances. Designed with TPU inserts in the most important strategic areas to provide high grip and outstanding wear resistance, it stands out for its minimalist design, which allows materials to be placed only where they are actually needed for maximum efficiency.

X-FRAME – An innovative construction designed to transfer every watt of power while ensuring the most comfortable and even fit possible without pressure marks. It combines next-generation materials that are only 0,5 mm thick and soft, providing exceptional comfort, with a construction featuring 360 degrees reinforcements along the entire length of the foot. These connect the sole to the laces across the upper. The result: a perfect fit and perfectly balanced fastening that evenly wraps around the entire foot, from the toes to the metatarsal area.

S.L.W. 2 – Maximum precision and comfort. The side button has two functions: pressing it releases the shoe in small increments, while lifting it fully releases the shoe immediately. This technology improves ergonomics. The laces are made using technology used in sailing and can be easily replaced.
