Extreme XC GTX

The ultimate shoes for professionals looking for comfortable footwear for optimal winter training. The Extreme XC GTX® shoes with their Duratherm Kelvin Gore-Tex® membrane combine excellent breathability with a complete water and wind block. Technical features and maximum comfort in all weather conditions. Warm toes even in the most extreme weather conditions is guaranteed by the additional lining in the front of the shoes.

Power is introduced via the XC12 carbon sole. Direct and effective, thanks to the 100% carbon inserts in the pedal area and a 12.0 stiffness index (a unit of measurement that defines stiffness on a scale of 0 to 15). Strategically placed TPU inserts allow for high slip resistance and abrasion resistance.

The upper shoe has a patented, ultra-light XFrame® and an Overlap construction made of the most innovative materials: it perfectly wraps the foot, avoids pressure points and transmits every watt of power to the drivetrain without loss.

Thanks to the latest technologies, it was possible to save 5% weight in the area of the rubber protectors and still guarantee their abrasion resistance and unique 360° protection over the entire shoe. Easy adjustment and a consistent fit is ensured by the SLW2 twist closure system. The only one of its kind, it ensures millimetre-precise adjustment and adaptation of the shoe with its microstep grid.

The new Easyfit Climaflex entry area combines the extreme flexibility of the Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane with the high thermal insulation of neoprene and guarantees mobility as well as cold/wet protection. The ergonomic heel shape with its anatomical fit thanks to the latest thermoforming technology combined with the Arctic 4Layer insole made of EVA + Aluminium as well as EVA + Pile ensures excellent thermal insulation. The 360° reflective inserts ensure greater safety in poor visibility conditions.
