northwave CELSIUS R ARCTIC GTX winter road shoes

The CELSIUS R ARCTIC GTX from the Core collection by northwave are ideal winter road shoes for those who continue their training even under extreme weather conditions. Thanks to the waterproof and windproof CIRRUS XT 4L BY GORE-TEX membrane, your feet remain warm and insulated even in the coldest conditions. The MORPH sole provides excellent power transfer thanks to its Powershape design, which ideally supports the arch of your foot. The particularly smooth upper shoe stands for reduced wind resistance and is skilfully combined with the neoprene cuff in the entry area of the road shoe. The ergonomic heel shape with its anatomical fit in combination with the ARCTIC 4LAYER insole also provides excellent insulation. The highlight: This shoe is fitted with the precisely fitting and easily replaceable SLW7 dial system, which rounds off the clever features of the road bike shoes perfectly.

Highlights & Technologies:

CIRRUS XT 4L BY GORE-TEX:
Thanks to the insulating fibres, this membrane is an optimum barrier against the cold and is therefore also suitable for harsh winter conditions. It provides excellent thermal insulation, offers complete protection against rain and wind and is also highly breathable.

PRIMALOFT:
As an ultra-fine microfibre insulation material, PRIMALOFT is ideal for cold-weather and all-season clothing. The fibres are also incredibly soft, lightweight and highly compressible for a small pack size. PRIMALOFT is wind-resistant, breathable and offers excellent water-repellent properties. Once it is wet, it dries extremely fast. However, even when wet, PRIMALOFT retains its insulating properties and thus ensures a comfortable, dry and warm feeling in almost any kind of weather.
PRIMALOFT quality grades range from Premium to Basic, available in Gold, Silver and Black variants, as well as in various other functional variants.

SLW7 SYSTEM:
Small, light, interchangeable. 
Experience the next generation of micrometric adjustment system with the fully interchangeable, compact dial system designed for seamless integration into shoes and effortless adjustment. The design and mechanism ensure smooth, precise adjustment and quick replacement – for optimum control and riding fun. If damaged, the dial can be easily removed and replaced without affecting the mechanism.
Open: Pull the button and the cable to open the shoe completely. 
Adjust: Turn the dial to adjust the fastener "click by click" for an ideal fit. 
Loosen: Press the button to open the shoe step by step, one "click" at a time.

MORPH:
The Morph sole offers the perfect balance between comfort and performance thanks to its lightweight yet robust construction. Their shape reflects the natural anatomy of the foot and, thanks to the Powershape design, offer excellent support – especially in the arch area. Two vents ensure optimum ventilation and breathability. The three cleat holes allow 5 mm adjustment and precise positioning of the cleats according to individual riding habits. Stiffness index: 10/15
