Speedlight 3D Sole; Race focused, the nylon chassis is filled with fibreglass and co-injected to the outer polished TPU shell keeping the construction lightweight yet stiff. The rubber studs provide excellent grip even on the most slippery surfaces.

3 Asymmetrical Straps; The asymmetrical construction is another innovation of the collection. The central strap is moved to the centre so as to follow the anatomy of the foot and reduce the pressure on the side area.

Performance Pro Footbed; EVA and microfiber offer lightness, sole support and the perfect degree of stiffness to transmit all your power to the pedals.

Integrated Heel System; The new unibody construction of the uppers allowed to integrate an efficient heel retention system inside the structure, without the need of external elements. Same efficiency, reduced weight.

PU Thermowelded Reinfocements; Lightweight and comfortable unibody upper. The minimised stitching and the absence of overlapping material allow us to eliminate all the unnecessary weight. As with most of our MTB shoes, the reinforcements on the side and toe have been directly thermowelded on the upper so as to guarantee maximum protection with a minimum weight.

NW Biomechanical Mapping; From a biomechanical point of view, the foot function is essential as it stores the force generated by muscles which is then transmitted to the pedal in the boost phase.

Each element of the BioMap shoes by Northwave has been designed to keep the foot in the correct position while pedalling, transmitting the force directly on the pedals without loss of energy. The soles have been reduced in thickness but the overall stiffness has been increased so the mechanical energy transfer action from the shoe to the pedal can be concentrated in a small area. The upper has had its stitching minimised and is designed to anatomically follow the shape of the foot, preventing slipping and providing an effective support. The vents have also been strategically placed along the upper and the sole to work as an integrated system designed to provide a constant air flow.

Please note these shoes have been on display the under plates are slightly different (see photo) this in no way effects the purpose or structure of the shoe. The box is also damaged.
