Light enough for training and racing, these shoes are also durable enough to rack up miles. Northwave makes consistently well-featured shoes with high-end characteristics, but offers them up at a very reasonable price.
- Uppers are soft, tear-resistant microfibre with airmesh inserts
- Airflow system uses large side vents to provide a constant supply of fresh air, and lower channels to direct air toward the sole
- Closure system has an upper buckle for micro-adjustments. Pressure on the instep can be incrementally released and controlled
- Midsoles use the Northwave performance pro platform, which has support through the arch and lots of stiffness to transmit power to the pedals
- Heel cup has a light, rigid profile for stability, and vents to channel fresh air
- Outsoles are carbon composite (fibreglass and carbon fibre) that provide stiffness at a low weight
