Northwave shoes are designed for XC and high-performance cross-country, with a structure engineered to maximize power transfer and foot stability on the pedals. The XC 12 carbon sole, with a full carbon insert in the pedal zone and a stiffness index of 12, ensures a reactive and efficient pedal stroke even under load.
The BioMap unibody construction upper offers an anatomical and enveloping design that minimizes energy dispersion, improving comfort and control. The thermo-welded TPU reinforcements increase protection in the most exposed areas, while the TPU inserts on the sole ensure traction and wear resistance even during hike-a-bike sections.
The closure system with dual SLW3 rotors allows for precise micro-adjustment, with gradual or complete release via a single button, distributing pressure evenly across the foot.
