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. The co-developed MICHELIN-NW compound tread ensures unprecedented grip on the pedals,A one of a kind, the adaptive TPU shank with openings and calibrated stiffness ensures greater control and support,The EVA midsole provides efficient shock absorption,Abrasion-resistant welded upper with large breathable mesh inserts,Welded TPU reinforcements on the toe and heel for impact protection,Mesh tongue with customized padding combines protection and breathability,Non-stretch laces are easily stowed in the elasticated keeper.
Northwave Extreme XCM 3 MTB ShoesHoned for the demands of both longer mountain bike and gravel riding, the Northwave Extreme XCM 3 MTB Shoes feature a carbon-reinforced sole that balances speedy efficiency with all-day comfort.The Carbon XC 12 Sole, rated 12 out of 15 for stiffness, is paired with Northwave's super supportive XFrame 2® upper, making sure your progress across the ground is made with rapid efficiency. From the challenging endurance efforts of long-distance mountain biking to the frenetic high-pace of a gravel race, the Extreme XCM 3 MTB Shoes deliver a comfortable and efficient application of power to your pedals. Carbon XC 12 SoleThanks to the Carbon XC 12 Sole, optimal pedalling efficiency meets long-distance comfort in perfect harmony. Put pressure on the pedals and the carbon insert around the cleat zone propels you forward with little wasted effort. However, flex across the medial zone prevents rough trails and vibrations from causing early foot fatigue. High-traction and high wear TPU tread inserts are strategically placed to give off-the-bike traction, perfect when you need to hop off your bike and scramble on foot. The minimalist design also ensures there's no weight penalty.Experience XFrame 2® ExcellenceThe upper of the Extreme XCMs benefit from Northwave's now improved XFrame 2® construction. This patented design wraps your foot to ensure the finest fit when you're applying the watts. No movement, just a secure and supportive hold with no pressure points.The integrated heel system, with a no-stitch heel design and inner heel grip material, provides a firm hold on the upstroke while saving weight thanks to the absence of a separate heel cup. Dual SLW 3 Closure SystemThe Dual SLW3 dial system, developed by X-Dial, builds and improves upon the previous iterations, making the fit and adjustment of your shoes quicker and easier than ever. It gives micrometric adjustment of the upper and lower foot, both to increase foothold and to release pressure. Twist to tighten. Press the side button to release pressure incrementally. All easily done on the go.A single button pull also makes it easy to release the laces at the end of your ride too. Quick. Simple, Durable. Precise. A no-fuss and comfortable fit every time.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.
