The Extreme GT 3 Cycling Shoe from Northwave sets us up for success when it comes to performance. It features a Morph Carbon 12 AAS sole with a full-carbon insert in the pedal area and a stiffness index of 12 for maximum efficiency. Made with the XFrame 2 construction, the upper makes for superb power transfer and a snug fit with no pressure points. The double SLW3 dial makes for micro-adjustments as needed, and an integrated heel system prevents slipping.
