Northwave X-Raptor Arctic GTX Winter Boots

Winter Mountain Bike Protection

The X-Raptor Arctic GTX Winter Boots make no compromises when it comes to keeping your feet insulated against the harsh winter cold. Firstly, the Gore-Tex® Koala membrane prevents icy winds and cold rain from getting inside and this works in harmony with the Arctic GTX footbed, a four-layer aluminium and fleece construction which enhances insulation still further, denying entry to freezing cold temperatures. At the ankle, the Climaflex collar uses extremely elastic Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane and highly insulating Neoprene to prevent water seeping in while still allowing complete flexibility for smooth pedalling. 

Efficient Pedalling

To keep you pedalling smoothly and efficiently across rough terrain, Northwave uses their Jaws Carbon Reinforced sole, with a stiffness rating of 8.0 this keeps power going to the pedals but still has a touch of flex for greater comfort as you hit the technical stuff. The sole unit also features a natural rubber tread giving you confident and sure-footed traction when you're off the bike and pushing as well as great grip on flat pedals. If you prefer to clip in then the sole unit is also compatible with 2 bolt SPD mountain bike pedals.  

Keeping your foot snug and secure, the BioMap design works in harmony with an SLW2 dial, allowing you to quickly and easily customise the fit, even on the go, and the Aero Overlap design creates a smooth streamlined shoe. With shorter daylight hours comes the fun of night rides and so the 360-degree reflective inserts ensure you'll never be missed as you pedal down dark trails and head homewards.
