Bonded onto that are TPU lugs for grip and traction in mud and off road conditions, but with a dedicated tread design that doesn't retain dirt in the shoe or cleat. The Extreme 2 also has optional stud mounts for really icy and slick conditions. The upper is made from premium Gore-Tex Duraltherm membrane which keeps your feet warm thanks to its wind proof, waterproof and breathable skin. It also has a layer of insulation for extra warmth in artic conditions, ideal for bikepacking adventures in places like Iceland! The shoes are finished with durable rubber reinforcement around the upper for ultimate protection. Northwave use their Xframe® patented construction with a SLW2 ratchet dial to close the shoe, which promises a snug and secure fit without compromising on power transfer or comfort as it doesn't pinch your foot. Finally the shoe has a collar made from Gore-Tex Rattler material, which acts like neoprene and stretches to fit your ankle and leg for heat retention and additional waterproofing. These are some pretty serious winter shoes ❄️ If you'd like to contribute captions and video info in your language, here's the link 👍 http://gmbn.tech/eg More GMBN Tech videos... 📹 How To Choose MTB Pedals | http://gmbn.tech/choosepedals 🎵 Epidemic Sound Odyssey - [ocean jams] Submit your content here: https://upload.gmbn.com/tech Brought to you by the world’s largest mountain bike channel, the Global Mountain Bike Network (GMBN), GMBN Tech goes deeper into the bikes, kit and technology stories that help fuel your rides.
