The Northwave Striker MTB shoes combine technical performance with durable construction for mountain biking applications. These unisex cycling shoes feature a dual X-Dial SLW3 closure system that offers precise micro-adjustment options in two zones, ensuring a secure fit and exceptional comfort on long rides. Strategically placed fibers in the heel area prevent slipping and provide a stable, safety-oriented fit. The upper material incorporates lightweight TPU reinforcements that are thermally welded for high abrasion resistance, protection against cracks and wear, all while maintaining a minimal, lightweight design. Seamlessly integrated air vents throughout the upper optimize breathability and support effective thermoregulation during intense activity. An open mesh tongue enhances airflow and increases comfort throughout the ride. The sole construction includes a full carbon fiber plate in the pedal area for maximum power transfer efficiency, complemented by TPU inserts at strategic points where additional traction is needed for a secure and effective pedaling experience. The Carbon XC 12 outsole offers reliable grip and durability. Available in a brown and green forest color combination, these shoes are designed for riders seeking a balance of technical features and practical performance in mountain bike footwear. Size 44 corresponds to the standard European size designation.
