The special lightweight, breathable upper guarantees magnificent comfort. The Jaws sole has the right amount of stiffness for tackling all types of courses, and makes sure women bikers attain excellent performance.CLOSING SYSTEMSBS - Step By Step Northwave’s R&D department has patented a new closure system: Step-by-Step. How many times have you wished to feel your shoes as part of your feet? A real cyclist knows what we mean! Most of the time, though, systems are too complicated, approximate or weather factors just don’t guarantee an optimal closure. The innovative Step-by-Step mechanism givesa precise and stable closure of the instep strap, and a gradual release of the pressure by the special “release” button. It allows an optimal micrometric adjustment, matched with the possibility of controlling pressure release on the foot arch “step by step”.HEEL RETENTIONA special heel counter made of injected plastic is used on all Northwave footwear. It stabilizes the heel, increases the foot’s lateral grip, and prevents the shoe from slipping off.• ULTRA Y HEEL COUNTER: This new design of heel was developed by NORTHWAVE’S R&D department, which devised a component with an exceptionally high technical level that guarantees excellent heel retention with a particularly low weight. The special Y shape embraces the heel comfortably and holds it in its natural position.FOOTBEDTo increase performance and make the fit even more comfortable, the Northwave R&D department has designed a series of anatomic arch supports that allow the cyclist to keep the right position when pedalling. 

Northwave Elisir Pro MTB Shoe - Women'sUpper: Woman design with Airmesh insertsUpper Construction: Redesigned Airflow system with increased ventilationClosing System: 2 Wide Velcro StrapsHeel: New lighter heel stabilizer with excellent supportSole: Jaws without Studs provides superior rigidity and lightweight. The sole comprises a fiber midsole with added carbon powder and a natural rubber outsole that guarantees maximum grip even during descents.Footbed: Performance Advanced; with ergonomic design and new arch support ensures optimum comfort and guarantees an excellent position when pedalling.

Sport Line - Energize your passionThose who choose Sport want to show their true passion for cycling. Every pedal stroke is an injection of energy to the body and spirit and has to be an unforgettable experience, even for those getting to grips with their first rides. So here's a line that enhances the comfort in the saddle and products created to emphasize an attractive look guarantees that only Northwave’s 20 years of experience can ensure a true competitive edge. NRG Air Carbon ReinforcedTotally renewed, NRG Air improves in every aspect. Increased stiffness. Reduced weight. 5 different areations for optimal airflow. Compatible with SPD pedals. UpperUltralight PU - Woman designMultilayer Thermowelded Northwave has extended to its entire new collection the use of thermowelded unibody uppers. Two main advantages are:- Use of thinner and therefore lighter materials- Almost complete stitching eliminationThe upper results are a more anatomical fitting, in order to better envelop the foot. Thanks to this technology, the upper features larger air vents resulting in improved comfort during pedalling.Upper Construction Airflow system implementation means a better sole aeration.S.R.S S.R.S. (Slim Ratchet System) is Northwave’s new micrometric buckle. Maximum closing precision, minimized size and weight. The mechanism follows the anatomic shape of the foot, to ensure the most comfortable fit, and is designed to ease the grasp even when riding. Forged in aluminum, it’s great for top resistance and ease of replacement. Asymmetrical StrapsThe asymmetrical construction is another innovation of the collection. The central strap is moved to the center so as to follow the anatomy of the foot and reduce the pressure on the side area, because particularly sensitive. The straps have been lightened by all superfluous elements, presenting thinner thicknesses and discharged central areas, thereby maintaining maximum grip. Integrated Heel SystemThe new unibody construction of the uppers allowed to integrate an efficient heel retention system inside the structure, without the need of external elements. Same efficiency, reduced weight.Performance Advanced FootbedErgonomic design: because you need to keep the perfect position when pedalling and you want comfort too.TechSPD pedal compatible

Performance Line - Challenge YourselfA line of products inspired by the materials used by professionals. Performance line is ideal for the competitors who love to challenge their own limits when cycling. Those who look for ultra-lightweight and high-performance products and the enthusiast who fights to improve and reach their goals whilst looking for an accomplishment worthy of their idols. Speedlight 3D SolePerformance and lightness. The nylon chassis is filled with fiberglass and co-injected to the outer polished TPU shell. The rubber studs provide excellent grip even on the most slippery surfaces.Upper Ultralight PUNW Biomechanical MappingFrom a biomechanical point of view, the foot function is essential as it stores the force generated by muscles which is then transmitted to the pedal in the boost phase. Each element of the BioMap shoes by Northwave has been designed to keep the foot in the correct position while pedalling, transmitting the force directly on the pedals without loss of energy. The soles have been reduced in thickness but the overall stiffness has been increased so the mechanical energy transfer action from the shoe to the pedal can be concentrated in a small area. The upper has had its stitching minimized and is designed to anatomically follow the shape of the foot, preventing slipping and providing an effective support. The vents have also been strategically placed along the upper and the sole to work as an integrated system designed to provide a constant air flow.Asymmetrical StrapsThe asymmetrical construction is another innovation of the collection. The central strap is moved to the center so as to follow the anatomy of the foot and reduce the pressure on the side area, because particularly sensitive. The straps have been lightened by all superfluous elements, presenting thinner thicknesses and discharged central areas, thereby maintaining maximum grip. Performance Pro Footbed EVA and microfiber offer lightness, sole support and the perfect degree of stiffness to transmit all your power to the pedals.Integrated Heel SystemThe new unibody construction of the uppers allowed to integrate an efficient heel retention system inside the structure, without the need of external elements.
