The Northwave Core 2 cycling shoe combines performance-oriented construction with a comfort-focused design for dedicated cyclists. Featuring an NRG Air Carbon Reinforced sole with a stiffness index of 8.0, this shoe allows for efficient power transfer from the pedal to the crank. The seamless unibody upper minimizes pressure points while providing a secure, anatomical fit. Five strategically placed ventilation openings work in conjunction with micro-perforations across the entire surface to ensure optimal air circulation and temperature regulation during long rides. This model is compatible with SPD pedal systems, although cleats are not included. The closure system utilizes three adjustable Velcro straps for precise fit adjustment across the entire foot. The upper material is made from technical textiles, while the insole provides additional comfort and support. Weighing approximately 260 grams per shoe in size 42.5, the Core 2 offers a balanced combination of lightweight construction and structural integrity. The black-gray color scheme presents a professional appearance suitable for various cycling disciplines. The Delta pedal system with three-hole compatibility accommodates standard cycling shoe cleats. This cycling shoe is designed for riders seeking reliable performance with a particular focus on ventilation and fit, making it suitable for training sessions and endurance cycling activities where consistent power transfer and foot comfort are priorities.
