Technologies

MORPH Carbon Fiber 12AAS Sole – The sole provides direct power transfer to the pedal. The pedal-area section of the sole, made entirely of carbon fiber, is lightweight and offers good ventilation. TPU arch-support technology integrated between the sole and the upper supports different foot types on long rides.

S.L.W.3 – Developed by X-Dial, the SLW3 is a fast closure mechanism with micrometric adjustment. The compact mechanism is easy to use: press the button to gradually loosen the shoe, or pull it to release the shoe completely at once.

SPEEDPLAY adapter (optional) – In collaboration with Speedplay, Northwave developed and patented a 0.5 mm-thick adapter. Compared with conventional 3 mm Speedplay adapters, it reduces the distance between the foot and the pedal and provides maximum power transfer to the pedals. The nylon adapter with a thin aluminum plate is 8.5 g lighter and conforms to the shape of the sole. This keeps the distance between the foot and pedal minimal in every position. Systems without adapters do not require additional clearance.
