Northwave Sonic 2 Carbon Road Cycling Shoes SS16

Sizzling performance for hot weather. An ultra-vented upper combined with a thermowelded multilayer construction, Carbon Light sole and SLW2 dial closure is perfect for riders who need super breathability as well as stellar performance.

Carbon fibre and nylon: an effective solution for demanding cyclists who require high performance with very low weight. Speedplay pedals compatibility using the specific adaptor.

The shortest distance between foot and pedal on the market. Northwave developed and patented, in collaboration with Speedplay, an exclusive adaptor that gives maximum power transmission on pedals, thanks to the reduced thickness of just 0,5 mm rather the 3 mm of the traditional Speedplay adaptors. Made of nylon with a thin aluminium plate (it saves 8,5 gr) it respects the natural anatomy of the sole keeping a minimal distance between the foot and the pedal in any position. Without adding bulk or weight that you find in systems without the adaptor.

Maximum precision and usability. The side button offers dual functionality: press the button for micrometric release, or lift the button to instantly undo the shoe completely.

The ergonomic shape of the ratchet base matches the shape of the foot for added comfort, while the size and minimized weight plus the outer soft-touch covering make it easier and better to grip. It features wires that harness the best technologies used in sailing, and can be easily replaced using the spare parts kit.

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