Motivated to Ride Whatever the Weather Riding in the freezing cold, wet conditions of winter is difficult and takes both motivation and the right kit. And when it comes to your feet you can fuss around with your normal road shoe and overshoes kit combo and still get cold feet or, instead, enjoy the sleek weather protection of the Extreme R GTX winter boots. Thanks to the Gore-Tex® Duratherm Kelvin membrane, featuring insulating hollow-core fibres, these are shoes that provide you with warmth, rated down to -15 degrees Celcius by Northwave, total wind protection and reliable waterproof performance. Comfort is superb as the weather turns cold, wet and nasty. At the ankle, the flexible Easyfit Climaflex collar allows easy pedalling but with its Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane also prevents water from getting in. Inside the shoes, the Arctic 4layer insole adds another layer of insulation from the cold - the four-layer aluminium and fleece construction works with the Gore-Tex membrane to deliver outstanding warmth even when you're cycling in temperatures below freezing. Efficient Winter Pedalling It's not just about weather protection though. Pedalling performance isn't overlooked either. Just like the summer version of this shoe, the Extreme R GTX winter shoes get the stiff and efficient Morph Carbon 12 AAS sole unit. A full-carbon insert at the pedal area imparts outstanding support for a stable pedalling platform while the stiffness rating of 12 out of 15 guarantees direct and positive power transfer, just what you need when building winter miles. XFrame ® Excellence When it comes to long-ride comfort there's little that matches the snug-fitting XFrame® upper. This innovative design holds the foot firmly in place but does so without creating pressure points. The system is closed via Northwave's own SLW2 ratchet system, allowing precise customisation of the fit, even on the move, as well as an easy release at the end of a tough winter ride. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
For their Celsius XC GTX winter boots, Northwave have turned to the Gore-Tex Pique membrane to give you an off-road shoe that is both windproof and waterproof. And not only does it keep cold wind and water out, but it also offers an excellent level of insulation against plunging winter temperatures. At the ankle, the flexible Easyfit Climaflex collar allows easy pedalling but with its Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane also prevents water from getting in. Inside the shoes, the 4-layer insole adds another layer of insulation from the cold, working with the Gore-Tex membrane to deliver outstanding warmth even when you're cycling in cold weather. Jaws Carbon Reinforced Sole With a stiffness rating of 8 out of 15, the Jaws Carbon-Reinforced Sole perfectly balances the need for efficient pedalling performance and comfort. Putting the power down results in rapid progress but the touch of flex in the sole provides absorption of vibration from rough trails and roads. The rubber grip provides traction off the bike and studs can be added for added grip on the muddiest of trails. SLW2 closure system Keeping the fit snug and comfortable, the SLW2 closure system allows you to dial in the fit just how you like it. The micro-adjust dial gives precise control of the fit but then at the end of a ride, a single button release makes it easy to kick off your shoes. Quick. Simple, Durable. Precise. And in conjunction with the Overlap design of the upper, a great fit without pressure points is made possible. Cleat Guidance These MTB shoes are compatible with MTB pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.
The X-Magma Core winter cycling boots are great all-rounders, and with their layer of Primaloft® Gold insulation are particularly good if and when the weather turns colder. While offering superb levels of warmth, the Primaloft® Gold does so without adding too much bulk. Not only warm, but it's also eco-friendly, being derived from recycled materials. The shoes also get a flexible neoprene Easyfit Climaflex collar at the ankle, and this prevents water seepage when rain arrives while also keeping pedalling mobility optimised. Explorer Sole. Flat Pedal Goodness. Confidence-inspiring pedal grip comes by the way of Northwave's Explorer sole. When you're pedalling, moving and manoeuvring your bike this Michelin rubber sole unit provides just the right level of pedal grip and stiffness to ensure rapid progress. And if you hop off your bike to push up a steep hill or rough trail the traction keeps you safe and secure. SLW2 closure system The upper of the X-Magma Core shoes features Northwave's snug-fitting Overlap construction, keeping your foot stable and secure as you apply pressure to the pedals. The upper is adjusted via the brilliantly easy to use SLW2 closure system. This allows you to dial in the fit just how you like it. The micro-adjust dial gives precise control of the fit but then at the end of a ride, a single button release makes it easy to kick off your shoes. Quick. Simple, Durable. Precise.
The Storm Carbon Road Shoes feature the Morph Carbon 12 AAS sole with a full-carbon insert in the pedal area with a stiffness index of 12.0 which allows you to unleash your full power. Meanwhile, the unique Anatomical Arch Support® made with TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), allows the shoe to perfectly shape on the bow arch – making it the ideal sole for any type of foot. Boosting ventilation throughout the shoe unibody construction is paired with strategically placed large mesh inserts which use ultrathin reinforced materials for unrivalled breathability and targeted stabilisation. This is also helped by the uber-open-knit meshing throughout which ensures a greater flow of airflow. The SLW3 dial plus extra strap is the only dial system with a step-by-step and full release in a single, easy to use button.
Made from a water-resistant PU coated material and with fully thermo-taped seams, the Fast H2O Cycling Overshoes do a great job of keeping out rain and road spray when storm clouds burst. Northwave have also done away with the usual rear zip, enhancing both water-resistance and comfort. The super-stretchy material also gives a second-skin fit for smooth airflow - just remember to pull your overshoes on before your shoes. A tall cuff works to add coverage over the lower legs and for low light and darkness, a reflective logo ensures you're easier to spot on the road.
From zipping along backcountry lanes to nipping off the road onto gravel tracks to seeking the thrill of twisting singletrack, the Fast Trail Cycling Bib Tights ensure your adventure ride is ticked off in complete comfort. The majority of the tight is made from Bluesign® certified Thermo Dream brushed-backed material. This boasts excellent warmth thanks to the fleecy inner face while the outer is scuff-resistant, fending off trailside bushes and branches. A high degree of flexibility also ensures you can move easily and react to ever-changing surfaces below your tyres. The upper bib section has a focus on breathability. With copious ventilation holes, this prevents you from being drenched in sweat when the going gets tough. Moving down, the knees have a super-stretch insert, improving flexibility for pedalling. Meanwhile, water-repellent lower leg panels protect against mud, spray and splashes. And for long days of exploration, the side pockets on the thighs offer up extra space for keeping essentials within easy reach. Men's Freedom Seat Pad The Northwave Freedom Seat Pad is milled and sewn to give a precise fit and excellent support. Soft fast-drying microfibre, with a sanitised bacteriostatic treatment, offers instant comfort and freshness for long rides. The two-layer foam construction absorbs and cushions against vibrations and supports the sit bones for greater comfort.
Thanks to the 3-ply napped main fabric, with an H2O windproof and waterproof membrane, the Women's Reload Cycling Jacket is great at keeping in warmth and fending off cold winds and sharp showers. The membrane is used in areas most vulnerable to the elements, while elsewhere breathability takes precedent, regulating temperature and allowing sweat to escape. The result is excellent comfort when you're pushing hard on the pedals. And when you back off the pace, you'll not be drenched in sweat. A seamless, ergonomically shaped collar fits beautifully when you're in a riding position and a silicone elastic waist gripper keeps the jacket snug against your shorts or winter tights. 3 back pockets let you load up for your training and a reflective pocket border ensures you're easier to spot when daylight turns to darkness.
The merino wool yarns give the Core Cycling Socks their excellent level of insulation against the cold. While warm, they also deal well with moisture too, the combination of merino wool and polyamide wicking away sweat before your feet feel damp. A padded sole also adds an extra level of cosiness while also adding some cushioning when pressing on the pedals. Lastly, the double elastic rib top holds them smoothly in place and a 24cm cuff height brings extra warmth higher up your leg.
There's nothing better than an intense indoor training session for focused fitness gains. But it can be a hot and sweaty affair, and your feet don't miss out on the moisture build-up. But here is where the Active Indoor Training Cycle Shoes excel. Thanks to a lightweight breathable upper, with copious mesh inserts, ventilation is outstanding and your skin can breathe easily, leaving your feet fresh and always ready for more. To get a sleek and snug fit, the Active shoes make use of wide hook and loop straps. These minimise bulk while allowing you to get a secure fit that holds your feet firm for smooth and efficient pedalling. A heel loop is also included, making it easy to pull your shoes on. Talking of efficient pedalling, the sole unit is designed to ensure excellent power transfer to the pedals, ideal for those higher-intensity efforts but comfortable for steadier riding too. The non-marking rubber sole is suitable for indoor use too, ensuring no marks on gym floors or parquet. Cleat Guidance These indoor cycling shoes are compatible with MTB style pedal systems, which use cleats with SPD standard (2-bolt standard), e.g.: Shimano SPD, Time ATAC, CrankBrothers, CrankBrothers Race, Look MTB, Xtreme MTB, Wellgo MTB, Ritchey MTB.
The warmth of the Women's Active Cycling Tights comes by the way of two soft and highly functional fabrics. The first of these, Miti Checkmate® basketweave fabric, is used across the front panel and rear of the thighs. This does a great job of trapping the warmth you generate when riding. This is then complemented by Carvico Vuelta® napped fabric on the bib, lower leg and side panels. With its soft and fleecy inner face this also retains warmth and at the same time it excellent flexibility allows for a fluid pedal stroke. Both fabrics are also breathable, letting sweat escape so as to avoid dampness after harder pedalling efforts. At the ankles, leg cuffs feature a silicone elastic gripper, holding your tights firmly in place. With autumn temperatures falling away from the highs of summer and with winter soon to arrive, the Women's Active Cycling Tights ensure you're warm and motivated to keep enjoying cycling outdoors.
