The tread design and rubber compounds come from Michelin. The outsole of the Extreme XC 2 shoe is decidedly minimal, and clearly meant more for pedaling, not walking. The new Northwave Extreme XC 2 features a dual dial closure (of Northwave’s own design, not Boa’s) and a one-piece upper with TPU reinforcements around the entire perimeter. The carbon fiber plate includes drillings for both three-bolt and four-bolt cleats.

On the medial side of the Northwave Extreme Pro 3 is a network of non-stretch straps that are designed to support the rider’s arch using minimal bulk. Northwave’s new Extreme Pro 3 road shoes sport a clean aesthetic and some interesting tech hidden under the hood. There’s room for a single water bottle inside the main triangle and another one underneath the down tube. Niner is yet another company that has adopted SRAM’s Universal Derailleur Hanger.

The rear brake caliper is tucked in well between the stays, but the mounting bolts are still readily accessible for easy installation and adjustment (yes, I checked). Kudos to Niner for sweating the details like this nifty guide on the seat tube that keeps the rear brake housing from rubbing the paint off the frame. Travel is limited to 100 mm owing to the bike’s focus on XC racing. CVA is Niner’s version of the popular short-dual-link suspension concept. Niner’s RKT 9 RDO XC racing flagship just got a refresh, with an all-new carbon fiber frame and updated 100 mm-travel rear suspension design. We’ve got a whole bunch of bits and bobs to share with you in this gallery, including new bikes from Niner and Cadex, some neat new bottles and related accessories from Elite, a ceramic-coated oversized pulley cage assembly (yes, really) from CeramicSpeed, a whole bunch of new shoes from Northwave, new tools and accessories from Park Tool, and plenty more.Īnd we’re still not done!
