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 off-road shoe and overshoes kit combo or, instead, enjoy the sleek weather protection of the Extreme XC 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, 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 XC GTX winter shoes get the stiff and efficient Speedlight 3D Carbon sole unit. A full-carbon insert at the pedal area imparts outstanding support for a stable pedalling platform and quick power transfer. The stiffness rating of 12 out of 15 guarantees direct and positive power application but also a degree of flex for vibration damping. Just what you need when building winter miles off-road. 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 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.
With a suggested temperature rating of warmth down to -10 degrees Celcius, the Celsius XC Arctic GTX winter boots pack a real insulating punch for winter cyclists. This performance is made possible by the use of a Koala Gore-Tex® membrane. The fleecy inner face does a brilliant job of trapping heat while the windproof and waterproof membrane prevents cold winds and freezing rain from sapping warmth. 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. 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.
