Technologies

NRG Air Carbon Sole
NRG Air Carbon Reinforced provides increased stiffness thanks to the new blend of nylon reinforced with fiberglass and enriched with carbon. As with the whole road soles collection, it features the AirFlow ventilation system. Vents favour an optimal air flow in and out. Compatible with SPD pedals.

BioMap Unibody
Reduce stitching for even more comfort and less weight: it’s not just an idea, it’s our dogma. It’s why Northwave is a pioneer in the use of thermowelded unibody uppers. This technology offers two massive advantages: we can use thinner and therefore lighter materials, and practically no stitching. Plus, the uppers have a more anatomical, wraparound design for a snugger, even fit.

S.L.W. 3
The new SLW3 developed by X-Dial is totally unique and offers ultra-fast, micrometric fastening. This compact mechanism is very light and intuitive The side button offers dual functionality: press the button for micrometric release, or lift the button to instantly undo the shoe completely.
