Winter Racing boots with thermal lining and rigid sole. Goretex waterproofing

The first bike Gore-Tex shoes launched exclusively by Northwave guarantees all-out water protection combined with excellent breathability. All this means top comfort feel on the move with all weather conditions. The microclimate created inside the shoe makes you confront the longest trips out without fatiguing or overheating your feet. Northwave & WL Gore winning partners when you're on the attack. Gore-Tex Guaranteed to Keep you dry Gore and designs are trademarks of W. L. Gore & Associates.Thermic insulated construction Thermic Insulated Construction is a new construction system used to provide performance for the Celsius and Fahrenheit products and guarantees:•Maximum thermal insulation in the upper part of the collar and the area where the shoe connects with the pedal. The insulating material that completely covers the holes of the plate offers better heat protection for the lower part of the foot. •Better protection against the rain, particularly on the upper part of the shoe. The material can also be easily washed after cycling in muddy conditions. •Footwear with unbeatable breathabilitySpeed Lace System is a fast and functional closing system for a perfect hold on the foot. Just pull the cord and push the mechanism downwards automatically locking the lacing in place. It is easy to release simply by pressing on the lever and pulling the mechanism upwards.• Sierra Membrane Thermal Lining • Indicative Range -10C/+15C • Waterproof and Warm • Upper: Gore Tex • Jaws Carbon Reinforced Sole • Speedlace System + Velcro • Ultra Y Heel • Special GTX Footbed • Sole: Nylon filled with fiber glass and enriched with carbon powder that gives the sole greater stiffness than usual. This allows reduced weight and a closer distance between feet and pedal.

Northwave can boast the exclusive rights to being the first brand to launch cycling shoes with Gore-Tex. The Gore-Tex membrane provides a total protection from water and extreme breathability so as to guarantee optimal comfort during exercise in all weather conditions. The microclimate created inside the shoes allows you to face even the longest trips without straining and overheating the foot: Northwave and WL Gore a perfect match for your needs!Extreme winter stands for the revolutionary Double Shield Construction (DSC). The overlap of two different uppers, anatomically integrated with each other’s and designed to work together, ensure an absolute protection against water and cold. The outer layer blocks the weather, whilst the inner works by creating a microclimate ideal for the foot. All the benefits of a shoe cover and none of the weaknesses.The double BOA closure allows a differential adjustment along the neck of the foot and the lower area, so as to avoid uncomfortable hotspots and provide a super enveloping fit. In addition, the BOA system stands out as one of the fastest and effective systems on the market.Speedlight 3D Sole - The nylon chassis is filled with fiberglass and co-injected to the outer polished TPU shell. The rubber studs provide excellent grip: you want less weight and more performance then this is exclusively for you.

Multifunction SoleComfortable when walking as well as light and stiff during pedaling, the Multifunction is a versatile sole designed for different users. It provides excellent performance and all the comfort you need. The sole is non-marking in natural rubber for an improved grip even on slippery ground. Breathable MembraneThe Multi-App has been designed with a breathable membrane to help control the temperature of your foot while out on a ride. By increasing the level of air accessing the shoe it helps draw sweat away and keep mositure out of the shoe while riding. 2 Straps + Heel Strap The Multifunction-App makes use of 2 velcro straps to enable a more precise tightening of the shoe while also incorporating a heel strap to enable you to ride comfortably without any undesired movement of the foot.Performance Advanced FootbedErgonomic design: because you need to keep the perfect position when pedalling and you want comfort too.HeelReinforced

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. Multilayer 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.

Those 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.

Be Safe!Cycling keeps you healthy but only if you stay safe.Inexperience, the weather conditions on the roads, and distracted or speeding drivers represent an ever-present risk to the safety of cyclists, and cause a large number of accidents every year (10% of fatal accidents occur on urban roads). Most accidents (27%) occur between 4 pm and 8 pm when the effects of increased traffic due to commuters traveling home are combined with other factors, such as accumulated stress and poor visibility caused by fading natural light. Another factor to consider is the lack of cycle lanes and the necessary safety equipment. However, none of this should dampen your passion for a healthy bike ride. This is what Northwave had in mind when it developed the “Be Visible! Be Safe!” project.
