Product information "Rebel 3 - MTB Shoes"

With Northwave's Rebel 3 MTB shoes, you can guarantee an optimal power flow to the pedal - thanks to the BioMap Unibody construction of the upper shoe. From below, the Race footbed provides more support and the Carbon XC 12 sole offers maximum traction and exceptional abrasion resistance. An integrated heel cap protects you from accidental slipping out.
The Northwave Rebel 3 is my go-to shoe for the toughest race on my calendar – the Cape Epic. Right from the start, it fit like a glove, and the comfort stayed consistent throughout the entire race. The S.L.W.3 dial allowed quick, precise adjustments even while riding, and always ensured a secure fit – even in technically demanding terrain. The sole strikes just the right balance: stiff enough for efficient power transfer, yet comfortable during hike-a-bike sections. What impressed me most was the heel hold – no slipping, even when pushing or carrying the bike. For this price, the performance is outstanding. I see no reason to switch to a more expensive top-end model – the Rebel 3 delivers everything I need.

The first time you wear the Rebel 3, you will be surprised by the snug fit. This makes the shoe particularly comfortable and at the same time very versatile and efficient on any type of terrain. The secret of the unibody construction is the upper, which adapts to the anatomy of the foot and is designed to form a unit of foot, shoe and pedal. You will notice the difference from the very first rides: the control of the foot on descents is outstanding and the comfort remains unique even after many hours.

Technologies

Carbon XC 12
Extremely stiff when pedaling thanks to the full carbon insert in the pedal area, but also ideal for long distances thanks to the additional flex in the midfoot area. Developed with TPU inserts at strategic points to ensure high traction and excellent abrasion resistance.

S.L.W.3
The new SLW3 developed by X-Dial is absolutely unique and offers ultra-fast, micrometer-precise fastening. This compact mechanism is very easy and intuitive to use. Simply press the button for step-by-step opening - or lift the button to open the shoe completely immediately.

BioMap Unibody
Reduces conventional seams for more comfort and less weight: not just an idea, but our dogma! That's why Northwave is a pioneer in hot-melt bonding and its application in unibody upper constructions. Thanks to the Biomap Unibody technology, we can process thinner and therefore lighter materials and at the same time reduce the number of seams. The result is a perfect anatomical design that hugs the foot like a second skin, ensuring a snug, consistent fit.

Integrated Heel System
The new construction of the upper allows an efficient heel support system to be integrated inside the structure without the need for external elements. Same efficiency, reduced weight.

Ich fahre den Schuh seit Ca. 10 Monaten. Sitz ist super. Leider ist mittlerweile das Verschlussband verschlissen. Deswegen gibt es einen Stern Abzug. Aber dennoch klare Weiterempfehlung!

Sehr gemütliche Schuhe, gute Verarbeitung. Die Füße schwitzen nicht darin und der Verschluss lässt sich super anpassen. Bin sehr zufrieden. Allerdings wie erwähnt umbedingt eine Größe größer bestellen.

Bei normaler Fussbreite unbedingt eine Nummer größer bestellen

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Optik 10 von 10 ! Super Performance Sohle mit Carbon für den Extra Tritt. Sitzt bombenfest. Im Vorderfuß sehr sportlich geschnitten. Mir passt dennoch die 43 bei regulärer Schuhgröße 43, ohne zu ermüden. Und wenn es dochmal notwendig ist oder bei Pausen, kann man easy stufenweise den Drehverschluss lockern.
