Northwave Striker for every foot: New off-road shoe with a wide-fit option

The Striker expands the 2026 Core Collection from Northwave: one shoe, which is aimed at riders who cover long distances off-road. The model covers cross-country, marathon and gravel disciplines. The Wide-Fit version offers extra volume in the forefoot area for riders who need more space.

Sole and construction

The Carbon XC 12 sole forms the basis of the shoe. TPU inserts in strategic areas of the outsole are designed to provide grip during pushing sections. The upper features heat-sealed TPU reinforcements for protection and durability. A heel system is designed to stabilise the foot whilst riding. The weight is 364 grams.

Ventilation and closure

Integrated air channels in the design are intended to support breathability and temperature regulation. The open-mesh tongue helps with ventilation. The dual X-Dial SLW3 fastening system allows for micro-adjustments in two zones to ensure a perfect fit.

Availability and colours

The Striker is available in sizes 36 to 48. The standard version comes in four colours: Sage, Sand/Forest Green, Light Grey/Black and Black/Light Grey. The wide-fit version is available in Black/Light Grey. The price is 209.99 euros. The shoe is available from authorised retailers and in Northwave’s online shop.
