Northwave Evolution SBS Road Shoes - 2012

BioMap by Northwave
This innovative concept is the result of a detailed biomechanical mapping (BioMap) study into the movements of the human body during physical activity. Extensive testing on famous champions has enabled Northwave to create a line of products that follow the body's movements during athletic activity.

Omega Heel
Guarantees excellent grip and maximum protection combined with the advantage of low weight. The rigid profile stabilizes the heel even under maximum load. The rear air vents allow heat to escape for comfort.

Wood Lasting Insole
Extraordinary performance is guaranteed by the innovative W.L.I. thermoformed wooden arch support for assembly (Wood Lasting Insole). Wood helps dampen vibrations transmitted by the pedal and insulates the foot from heat on the sole of the shoe. It provides 80% more heat protection than traditional arch supports. The vibrations transmitted to the feet and knees are reduced by more than 50% and the transmission of power to the pedals is even more forceful.

SBS
S.B.S. (Step By Step) is an innovative micrometric system that ensures precise and stable closure. Pressure on the instep strap can be released and easily controlled "step by step", even when racing.

ST 8:4 - 3-Layer full carbon sole
Three layers of carbon provide minimum thickness and high degree of stiffness. The ST 8:4 - 3-Layer full carbon sole features an exclusive Air Flow System with a front conveyor and ventilation channel next to the pedal engagement. The interchangeable front and rear protective heels are made of ultra-grip material. Designed for use in competitions, it guarantees perfect transmission of power to the pedals.

Performance Pro Footbed
The new, lightweight and anatomical arch support made from EVA and microfibre offers the perfect level of stiffness to transmit full power to the pedals, while supporting the sole of the foot.
