The XC model has made history and remains the first choice of the strongest bikers in the world.
The Extreme XC 2 stands for lightness and reactivity, whether in the Rock Garden or steeply uphill. The Hyperlight-XC sole developed in collaboration with Michelin allows speed and grip. ARS technology (Anatomic Reticular Support), an exoskeleton that surrounds and adapts to the foot, distributes the load evenly and in a controlled manner when pedaling. With the advanced dual-zone closure system with double X-Dial SLW3- twist closure, the pressure between the top of the instep and the toe can be adjusted to the millimeter for even better fit. The TPU protective layer is now even thinner and 10% more resistant. The Extreme XC 2 continues the legend of mountain bike shoes from Northwave.
Features of the Northwave Extreme XC 2 shoes
- 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.
- 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.
- High abrasion, ultra-thin reinforcements ensure all-around protection throughout the upper shoe.
- Upper with ARS (Anatomic Reticular Support) technology, an exoskeleton that surrounds the foot and distributes the load evenly when pedaling.
- Even on hot days, excess heat escapes to the outside via the mesh insert. Double insole in different thicknesses
(3 mm and 5 mm thickness) for a customizable, perfect fit.
