Conquer any trail with the NORTHWAVE Striker Wide XC-Gravel shoes. Designed for ambitious cyclists, these versatile shoes offer exceptional power transfer via the stiff Carbon XC 12 sole with TPU grip.

Unleash Your Power on Any Terrain
Engineered for the demands of both competitive cross-country (XC) and adventurous gravel cycling, the Striker Wide is your ultimate partner for performance. The heart of the shoe is the Carbon XC 12 sole, boasting a stiffness index of 12.0. This full-carbon insert in the pedal area ensures that every watt of your power is transferred directly to the pedals with zero loss, providing explosive acceleration and efficient climbing. Strategically placed TPU inserts offer outstanding traction and high wear resistance, giving you the confidence to dismount and navigate technical sections on foot.
Precision Fit with Micrometric Control
Experience a new level of customized comfort and security with Northwave´s exclusive double X-Dial SLW3 closure system. This innovative micrometric system allows for dual-zone adjustment, enabling you to fine-tune the pressure on both the instep and the toe area independently. The SLW3 dial is the only one on the market that offers step-by-step adjustment and a full release with a single button, making it incredibly easy to dial in the perfect fit or release pressure, even while riding. This eliminates pressure points and ensures a snug, stable fit that feels like a second skin.
All-Day Comfort and Superior Breathability
Long days in the saddle require a shoe that prioritizes comfort. The Striker´s unibody construction features a ventilated upper with large, strategically placed mesh inserts, promoting constant airflow to keep your feet cool and dry. The open mesh tongue further enhances breathability, preventing overheating during intense efforts. Specifically designed with a ´Wide Fit´, this model provides extra volume in the forefoot area, accommodating riders who need more room and ensuring unparalleled comfort on epic rides and multi-day events. For added durability, the upper is reinforced with highly wear-resistant TPU, protecting your feet from rocks, roots, and other trail hazards. This shoe is built to perform and last, whether you are a man or a woman pushing your limits.
