Northwave Extreme XC

Hyperlight-XC sole made of 100% unidirectional carbon with a stiffness index of 14.0 for maximum power transmission. Michelin rubber inserts with dual layer compound technology are 28% more abrasion resistant than TPU and provide excellent grip with minimal weight. Thanks to the patented XFrame 2® construction, the upper transfers full power to the pedal. At the same time, it offers maximum comfort without pressure points. With the double SLW3 twist closure, the pressure between the top of the instep and the toe can be individually adjusted for even better fit. New highly abrasion resistant ultra-thin reinforcements ensure all-around protection throughout the upper shoe. Integrated heel system with specially aligned fiber prevents accidental slipping. Pro-Regular-Fit footbed with a stiffened dual-density design increases power transfer. Newly revised overlap for better fit and control on the pedals. New seamless heel design ensures comfort and snug fit on the foot. Perforated upper ensures optimal ventilation
