Northwave Core Plus 2 Road Cycling Shoes The Northwave Core Plus 2 is built for riders who demand comfort, efficiency, and ventilation on every ride. Featuring a carbon-reinforced NRG Air sole with a stiffness index of 8.0, the shoe delivers excellent power transfer while maintaining all-day ride comfort. Five integrated vents ensure consistent airflow, keeping your feet cool during warm spring and summer rides. The seamless unibody upper minimises pressure points, while four breathable mesh inserts and micro-perforations across the surface maximise ventilation for long hours in the saddle. A precise and secure fit is achieved with the SLW3 dial system, paired with an additional strap for fine tuning. The SLW3 dial allows both step-by-step micro-adjustments and full release using a single button. Compatible with SPD pedals (cleats not included), the Core Plus 2 is an ideal choice for road, indoor, or fitness-focused cyclists looking for performance without sacrificing comfort.
