Northwave Scorpius SRS shoes


SO GOOD
Efficient, reasonably light (436g) and well vented, these are a good summer option. The carbon-powder reinforced thermoplastic sole feels very stiff, and the Slim Ratchet System (SRS) provides a secure and comfortable fit that helps boost power transfer further, with minimal heel lift. The outsole grips well on soft ground.

NO GOOD
The heavily perforated upper just isn’t practical for colder days, and the hard tread makes walking on rock – or those moments when you can’t quite clip in – rather dicey. The thin footbed offers little arch support, which means the shoes can become uncomfortable on long rides.

Price 150$
