Shoes Northwave Extreme Pro 3 Black

The result of incessant research and the help of cyclists of the stature of Filippo Ganna, to achieve a professional level product.

The Northwave Extreme PRO 3 shoes are the result of incessant research and the brand's constant consultation with cyclists of the stature of Filippo Ganna, to achieve a professional-level product. ARS (Anatomic Reticular Support) technology provides an exoskeleton that wraps the feet with an exceptional fit, adapting to different types of feet and transferring power to the pedal in an even and controlled manner. The ergonomic Powershape 15 sole, made of unidirectional carbon fiber (compatible with Speedplay/Wahoo pedals) is designed to offer support to the arch of the foot, allowing exceptional pedaling efficiency. For its part, the 3 air intake ports strategically placed on the sole are a guarantee of cool feet even during a heat wave in summer. The double SLW3 dial and the double zone closure offer the possibility of differentiating the pressure in the area of the fingers and in the upper part of the instep.

Technologies:

• SLW3 Closing System

The new SLW3 developed by X-Dial is totally unique and offers an ultra-fast micrometric closure. This compact mechanism is very light and intuitive, just turn the dial for a fast and precise closure. The side button gradually releases the closure so you can enjoy even micrometric control when driving.

• ARS (Anatomical Reticular Support)

The arch support system uses the lattice structure to evenly wrap the foot from sole to instep. With its specially designed ARS technology, together with the X-Dial SLW3 double closure system, it creates a modular cage that keeps the foot in the correct position on all surfaces, regardless of whether you're on or off the road. Avoids the accumulation of pressure in the plantar fascia, a cause of inflammation and pain. The increased stiffness resulting from the combination of ARS technology and the carbon fiber sole sends even more power to the pedal so you feel in tune with the ground underfoot. Improved stability gives you a more circular pedal stroke and ensures consistent power to the pedal; The pressure distribution for the closure is now divided into two zones (toe and instep area), which means that it can be precisely differentiated to adapt to the shape of your foot. This allows for effortless transfer of power to the ground, even after many hours in the saddle.

• PowerShape Carbon 15

Made from 100% unidirectional carbon, it has been developed to ensure that 100% of the rider's power is transferred to the pedals without wasting energy. The secret is in the exclusive Powershape patented bow system; dozens of prototypes have been created to find the perfect shape and thickness to fit all feet and arches. In addition, it has a special adapter, so it is compatible with Speedplay pedals and Speedplay pedals.
