Northwave Extreme XC Shoes Fietsschoenen
The Extreme XC Shoes sit at the very peak of the Northwave performance off-road range. A super-light upper hugs your foot for incredible comfort and support across rough and technical trails. And to take on the rough and tumble of dirt, dust, mud, rocks and roots highly abrasion-resistant ultrathin reinforcements provide protection along the entire upper. Lastly, converting your hard-won fitness to rapid forward momentum is the super-stiff Hyperlight Michelin XC Sole. Hyperlight Michelin XC Sole Made from 100% unidirectional carbon fibre, the Hyperlight Michelin XC Sole is the highly tuned performance engine of the Extreme XCs. With a low weight and high stiffness rating, it offers optimal efficiency on the trails and incredible power transfers as you tackle stiff climbs and get into the flow of XC and cyclocross races. Michelin brings their Dual Layers Compound Technology to the sole too. The tread pattern uses a mix of soft and hard compounds for the best all-surface grip. The softer compound increases both traction and stability while the harder compound is tougher and more resistant, biting into loose ground and increasing durability. Experience XFrame 2® Excellence The upper of the Extreme XCs 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 System The 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 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.
