Product details

The power is transmitted to the drivetrain through the reinforced Jaws Carbon sole with a stiffness index of 8.0. The heel area made of natural rubber provides extreme grip on any surface. The upper shoe features an overlap construction made from the most innovative materials: it perfectly envelops the foot, avoids pressure points, and transfers every watt of power to the drivetrain without loss. Additional TPU reinforcements offer 360° protection across the entire upper shoe. A simple and even fit is ensured by the SLW2 rotary closure system. Unique in its class, it allows for millimeter-precise adjustment and fitting of the shoe thanks to its micro-step ratchet. The new Easyfit Climaflex entry area combines the extreme flexibility of the Gore-Tex Rattler membrane with high thermal insulation from neoprene, ensuring mobility as well as protection against cold and moisture. The ergonomic heel shape, with its anatomical fit thanks to state-of-the-art thermoforming technology, along with our Arctic 4Layer insole made of EVA and aluminum as well as EVA and pile, guarantees excellent thermal insulation. For added safety in poor visibility conditions, the 360° reflective inserts provide extra visibility.

Not exactly the warmest shoe, but with lots of positive feedback from the testers: the Celsius XC is very comfortable to wear - almost like a summer shoe. The stiff sole and slim fit make racers happy. However, the high neoprene sock could be a little tighter.

This test report belongs to a different type: Celsius XC Arctic GTX (43)
