A comfortable short is the Force 2 by Northwave, which is also ideal for medium to long rides. The Vortex jacket is made of windproof fabric and also offers slight water resistance, thanks to its water-repellent treatment.

Numerous accessories are available in this price range, including Northwave's technical gloves and socks, which are made especially for cyclists, whether mountain bikers or road cyclists.

Northwave's Rockster shoe is made specifically for gravel riding. This is a discipline with an ever-increasing number of enthusiasts, so we decided to make a shoe specifically for this activity practised on gravel roads.

Over 200€

Among the products that cost more than 200€, it is impossible not to mention the Extreme Pro 2 and the Extreme XC, two of Northwave's top-of-the-range models dedicated to the road and the mountain bike XC category respectively.
