Description of Northwave Bike Raptor S.B.S. Mountain Bike Shoe - Men's: |
The carbon-reinforced Northwave Men’s Raptor S.B.S. Mountain Bike Shoe tears down the singletrack like it means business. A reinforced carbon soleplate makes the most of your energy by transferring straight to the pedal rather than losing it to flex. The locking S.B.S. closure strap holds your foot in place as you tear around the singletrack and a formidable tread digs its teeth into the dirt when you need to hit the ground running. Durable synthetic leather withstands a season of mud and grime while ventilated mesh keeps your feet cool.
Bottom Line: Reinforced carbon increases your power output.

| These are my first foray into clipless, and I'm happy I spent the extra $ to get these, as opposed to other entry-level shoes.
They're quite light and airy, even in 100+ heat. The footbed is pretty hard, so you may want to get some soft inserts, but the power transfer to the pedals is great.
Also, I've had to get off the bike and walk about a half mile on a trail (broken chain), and the outsole did incredibly well.
I'm happy with my purchase. Definitely consider Northwave as a cheaper alternative to SIDI or P.I. |

| I've had these for about 1 1/2 months and have put about 200 miles on them so far. I had an old pair of 661s that I wore for about 4 years and these are definitely stiffer soled, but not overly so. They seem to have a real nice balance of comfort and stiffness and with the Utah weather turning cold (in the high 40s low 50s) I like the venting because it isn't so free flowing that you freeze your toes off. The toe box is pretty big compared to my 661s or even my roadie Northwaves and the sole inserts could use more arch but thats pretty normal. |
