North Wave Shoes Core Plus 2

Northwave Core Plus 2 Road Cycling Shoes – SPD-SL / LOOK KEO

The Northwave Core Plus 2 is a versatile road cycling shoe for riders looking for a comfortable, supportive fit with enough stiffness for efficient pedalling. Its NRG Air Carbon reinforced sole has a stiffness index of 8/15, giving it a good balance between power transfer and everyday riding comfort.

Northwave's BioMap Unibody upper uses a low-seam construction to reduce pressure points while the breathable mesh sections and ventilation openings help keep airflow moving through the shoe. The SLW3 dial and additional Velcro strap make it easy to fine-tune the fit, with the dial offering both incremental adjustment and quick full release.

The Core Plus 2 uses a standard 3-hole road cleat mounting system, making it compatible with Shimano SPD-SL and LOOK KEO cleats. It is a solid choice for everything from regular road training and club rides to longer weekend rides and events.
