Northwave Celsius XC GTX Mountain Bike ShoesCreated for the cold and wet weather of winter, the Northwave Celsius XC GTX Mountain Bike Shoes keep you riding trails and enjoying cosy feet when the going gets tough. The Celsius XC GTX Mountain Bike Shoes rely on a Pique Gore-Tex® membrane for their all-weather performance. This provides a waterproof and windproof barrier while also offering an excellent degree of insulation against temperatures that hover around freezing. Wet weather protection is enhanced further by the flexible neoprene Easyfit Climaflex collar. This prevents water from seeping inside but still allows for smooth unrestricted pedalling. Lastly, the four-layer insole provides outstanding insulation, complementing the Pique Gore-Tex membrane perfectly. Jaws Carbon-Reinforced Sole Riding off-road needs a sole that delivers good pedalling efficiency and support but at the same time some flex to soak up the bumps. And this is exactly what you get with the Jaws Carbon-Reinforced Sole. Rated by Northwave at 8 out of 15 for stiffness, it will propel you forward as soon as you apply power but won't leave your feet buzzing with pins and needles across rough trails. The rubber grip provides traction off the bike and studs can be added for added grip on the muddiest of trails. SLW2 closure systemKeeping 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 GuidanceThese 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.

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.

Northwave breaks into the flat shoes market, changing the game with an innovative flat-specific sole system made in collaboration with Michelin.More Than a Sole: The First Flat-Specific Sole SystemKeeping the rider’s feet anchored to the pedals with no clips is easier said than done. When developing a flat shoe, there are three boxes to tick: grip, traction and durability. The reality is, a single element sole will never do all three. To achieve this requires multiple elements that work together to provide total control whilst on pedals.Two years of research and testing were needed to come up with the Gecko+ system that Northwave uses in the Clan and Tribe. It’s the stickiest compound on the market and was co-developed by Northwave and Michelin Technical Soles. In addition to the unrivalled grip it has an integrated rubber arch support which ensures enhanced stability on the pedals and increased impact protection.The real difference is inside the sole, where an adaptive TPU shank with calibrated stiffness ensures greater control, support, and stress response. The lengthwise openings along the medial zone and heel contain flexion and control torsion for perfect connectivity with the pedals. The horizontal wedge openings on the toe enable the flexion of the foot to be controlled on and off the bike.Northwave Clan, Grip on Your RideNorthwave’s Flat Specific Sole System makes its debut on the Clan, the best performing flat model launched by the Italian company. Thanks to its innovation, the Clan provides an unprecedented level of control when on the pedals, in spite of the lack of clips.The Clan was built to perform, and to be enjoyed flat out. Northwave’s abrasion-resistant welded upper, with large breathable mesh inserts are perfect on even the hottest days and placed welded TPU reinforcements on the toe and heel provide excellent impact protection. The mesh tongue with customized padding combines protection and breathability, whilst the closure can be adjusted through non-stretch laces, easily stowed in the elasticated keeper whilst riding.The Gravity FPS outsole, co-developed by Northwave and Michelin Technical Soles, is equipped with the exclusive Gecko+ compound for extreme stickiness and grip, keeping your foot planted even on wet and slippery surfaces while still ensuring good durability. The tread design - which was inspired by Michelin’s Jet XCR tire - succeeds in providing maximum grip on pedals too. With its precisely designed tread pattern the sole provides excellent control on different terrains, thanks to the strong sculptures on the tip – for progressive traction – and heel area – for braking and durability.Key Features:The sole features the exclusive Northwave flat system that’s specially developed to deliver total control.
