ROSE Bikes CELSIUS XC GTX Winter Shoes for XC and Marathon| MTB Shoes|Winter Shoes

The CELSIUS XC GTX cycling shoes by northwave were especially developed for XC and marathon winter training in mild climate zones. They consist of a GORE-TEX PIEQUE membrane, that keeps the foot warm and provides great insulation. An additional lining in the toe area further improves insulation. The carbon-reinforced sole with a stiffness index of 8.0 and a heel made from natural rubber ensures outstanding grip on all surfaces. The EASYFIT CLIMAFLEX cuff combines the particularly high flexibility of the GORE-TEX RATTLER membrane with the strong insulation of neoprene and ensures mobility as well as protection against cold and wetness. The ergonomic heel shape with its anatomical fit in combination with the ARCTIC 4LAYER insole also provides excellent insulation.

Highlights & Technologies:

GORE-TEX PIQUE:
GORE-TEX Pique is very breathable and provides a pleasant foot climate, as it keeps your feet dry during outdoor sports activities. Moreover, the membrane has got an insulating effect and is thus ideal for use in autumn or spring, when temperatures are a bit cooler. Like all products bearing the GORE-TEX label – a quality seal for high quality standards in terms of weather protection and comfort – all shoe components are precisely joined together and subject to regular quality controls.

JAWS CARBON:
Sole made of thermoplastic material mixed with carbon, tread made of natural rubber, resulting in a low weight and optimal grip, even on difficult terrain.

SLW2 SYSTEM CLOSURE:
The speed lace system closure provides perfect support for your feet, is functional and fast to use: Simply open and close the shoe with a flick of the wrist. A large dial allows for precise tensioning of the wires. The shoes can be fully opened at once or step by step. For gradual release, you can push the little lever at the dial and for full release, you can lift the lever.

EASYFIT CLIMAFLEX:
This collar is made from soft, insulating neoprene and a highly elastic membrane and feels like a sock. Therefore, it offers very good mobility and extensive weather protection. Zero overlap and no Velcro straps, so that foot and ankle can move freely.

GORE-TEX RATTLER:
The core of all GORE-TEX textiles is an extremely thin, permanently waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane. It has over 1.4 billion micropores per square centimetre. The pores of the GORE-TEX membrane are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour. This allows sweat to escape unhindered. The volume of air that passes through one square metre of fabric in one second not more than 5.0 l/m²sec – which makes the membrane truly windproof. The microscopically small pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than water droplets. Thus, the GORE-TEX membrane is absolutely waterproof.
The GORE-TEX RATTLER membrane comes with a robust nylon-Lycra outer fabric for high durability.

OVERLAP:
The overlap construction of the upper shoe characterises many northwave shoes. Thanks to the overlap, the pressure of the fastener is evenly distributed over the instep.

ARCTIC 4LAYER:
Insole with EVA + Aluminium and EVA + Pile for optimal insulation.

The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
