Northwave Rebel 3 shoes

Aim to the top

The feeling, from the first time you wear the Rebel 3, is of a complete wrapping of the foot. That makes the shoe comfortable and, at the same time, extremely versatile and performing on any type of terrain. The secret is the unibody  construction  of  the  upper,  developed  on  the  anatomy  of  the  foot  with  the  aim  of  becoming  one  only  thing with the foot, the shoe and the pedal. You can feel the results since the first rides: the control of the foot during a down the hill rides is excellent and the comfort, even after many hours of use, is amazing.

Technologies

S.L.W.3 closing system
The micro metric system S.L.W. 3 (Speed Lace Winch) represents the evolution of the closure system. Maximum precision and modularity. The innovative step by step closure means you can tighten and enlarge the fit in a few moments. The side button provides a dual function: by pressing, it features a micro metric release and lifting it allows a complete and immediate opening of the shoe. More lightweight and thinner. The dial has been completely redesigned in size and weight, resulting in being significantly lighter and thinner. The external covering in soft touch material also makes the grip more effective. The ergonomic shape of the S.L.W. 3 ratchet follows the anatomy of the foot to make it really comfortable. The S.L.W. 3 ratchet is easily replaceable. The cables come from the best technology derived from the world of sailing.

Carbon XC 12
Extremely stiff when pedaling thanks to the full-carbon insert in the pedal area, it, also, ensures a long-distance advantage thanks to the extra flex in the medial zone. Engineered with TPU inserts in strategic points for high traction and outstanding wear resistance. It stands out for its minimalist design that allowed to locate materials only where actually needed for max efficiency.

Northwave soles, uppers and all their components are anatomically compatible with every cyclist’s feet and are designed to keep the foot in the right position while pedalling, transmitting power directly to the pedals without wasting any energy.
