Northwave – High-Quality Road & MTB Shoes, Eyewear & Bike Apparel

Northwave’s roots reach back to 1971, when founder Gianni Piva began his career in the footwear capital of Montebelluna (Italy). With a strong love for mountain sports, he expanded from ski and snowboard boots into cycling in 1993. His first MTB masterpiece – the Northwave Bi-Color Integral – disrupted a previously monotone market with its bold two-tone look. Success followed quickly, driven by distinctive styles paired with uncompromising performance. This philosophy still defines Northwave bicycle shoes today: standout designs, advanced materials, and long-lasting functionality.

Today, Northwave offers a wide lineup of high-performance cycling shoes and apparel. Alongside technical innovation, the brand puts a strong focus on sustainability and a connection to nature – creating products that are functional, stylish, comfortable, and built with responsibility in mind.

Mountain biking demands gear that holds up in any weather and on any terrain. With decades of expertise in MTB footwear, Northwave focuses on what truly matters: performance, comfort, and reliable protection on every ride. Two highlights in their mountain bike shoe lineup prove exactly that:

• Extreme XC: Engineered for top-level performance and trusted by XC professionals around the world.
• Rebel 3: Outstanding performance and comfort in one shoe, available in various colors, so you can show off your own personal style.

When winter closes in, Northwave steps up with a dedicated range of insulated MTB shoes built to handle cold, wet, and harsh conditions. As the first cycling brand to integrate Gore-Tex into MTB and road shoes, Northwave continues to lead the way. In extreme weather, winter models like the Celsius XC Arctic GTX keep your feet warm and dry.

A prime example of their commitment is the Flagship GTX: a Gore-Tex membrane, double SLW3 rotor, and a Michelin-developed carbon sole. Designed to perform in deep winter, it delivers dependable protection and comfort on every ride – no matter the conditions.

For road and triathlon disciplines, Northwave blends aerodynamic design, lightweight materials, and a fit that feels like a second skin. Models such as the Ghost Pro and Core Plus deliver efficient power transfer thanks to stiff soles, while breathable uppers keep your feet cool during intense sessions. Triathletes also benefit from quick transitions with easy-to-put-on options like the Tri-Sonic.

Northwave’s gravel shoes bring together the efficiency of road models and the durability needed for off-road adventures. With soles optimized for both pedaling and walking, options like the Rockstar are ideal far beyond paved roads. The upper material adds crucial weather protection, so you can focus fully on your ride, whatever the terrain.

Beyond footwear, Northwave offers stylish, high-performance cycling clothing built with the same mix of technology, innovation, and distinctive Italian design.

• Jerseys: Available in a wide selection of colors and styles, Northwave jerseys stand out with lightweight materials and excellent breathability. They’re designed for every season so you’re prepared for any weather.
• Pants: Thermal, windproof, or waterproof, Northwave pants prioritize comfort and protection. With versions for MTB and road, each pair features ergonomic cuts and minimized seams for maximum performance.
• Jackets: Northwave jackets offer reliable protection and freedom of movement on road and MTB rides alike. Materials like Polartec® prevent heat loss while allowing efficient airflow.
