Product description
Comfort and precise adjustment
The Striker cycling shoes from Northwave rely on two SLW3 twist locks, which enable millimetre-precise adjustment. For you, this means no pressure points or slipping - just a secure fit, even over long journeys. Plus, the asymmetric opening and reinforced tongue ensure even pressure distribution and high levels of comfort on intensive climbs or long gravel tours.
Efficient power transfer and stability
In addition, a full carbon zone is used in the pedal area to ensure maximum stiffness. This provides direct power transfer to the pedals without any loss of energy. TPU reinforcements in key areas give the shoes their necessary stability without making them too heavy. With a weight of around 364 g (in size 42), the shoes remain pleasantly lightweight, which is particularly noticeable on longer journeys.
Breathability and grip
Strategically-placed air openings and a sophisticated upper material offers effective ventilation and temperature regulation. This is particularly important when travelling in changing temperatures. Moreover, the sole is equipped with TPU inserts that provide extra grip, which is great for those rare times where you have to leave the saddle. As a result, you have a secure grip off the bike as well.
Key benefits:
- Secure fit thanks to precise SLW3 twist lock fasteners
- Maximum power transfer thanks to full carbon zone in the pedal area
- High breathability for a pleasant climate in the shoes
- Extra grip for short walking stints
