Description
The Northwave Core 2 Road Cycling Shoes are built for riders who want reliable power transfer without compromising on comfort during long days in the saddle. Whether you are grinding through Pune's morning traffic, spinning up the Western Ghats, or pushing hard on a Chennai coastal ride, these shoes deliver a stiff, efficient platform with ventilation suited to India's demanding heat. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Look in India.
Use Cases
Daily training. Stiff sole and breathable upper for repeated training in Indian heat and humidity.
Race day. Power transfer and snug retention for competitive efforts.
Indoor training. Compatible with indoor trainer cleats for structured Zwift, TrainerRoad, or Wahoo SYSTM workouts.
Our Take
For Indian riders tackling 35°C+ conditions in cities like Hyderabad or Ahmedabad, ventilation is not a bonus — it is essential. The Core 2 addresses this with a well-designed upper that encourages airflow without sacrificing the structural rigidity you need on climbs. The adjustable closure system gives a precise, dialled-in fit that holds through sweaty summer rides and the unpredictability of Indian roads. A solid entry point into proper performance road footwear.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Northwave shoes generally run true to EU sizing. However, Indian riders — particularly those from regions like Tamil Nadu or Maharashtra where wider forefeet are common — should consider going up half a size. Always try on with your cycling socks. Heel slip means the shoe is too large; toe pinch means too small. Insole swaps can fine-tune volume and arch support in India's heat.
Compatibility Notes
The Core 2 accepts both 3-bolt cleats (SPD-SL / Look) and, depending on the variant, 2-bolt SPD cleats — verify your pedal system before ordering. Cleats are sold separately. Third-party insoles are compatible for fit refinement. Closure dials are user-serviceable. Clean with a damp cloth after monsoon rides; avoid prolonged soaking to protect the sole bond.
Pairs Well With
Complete your road setup with compatible clipless pedals, performance cycling socks designed for hot-weather riding, waterproof shoe covers for India's monsoon season, and a quality chamois cream for longer efforts on climbs like Lonavala or Khandala. All available at Cobbled Climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Northwave Core 2 Road Cycling Shoes best used for?
The Core 2 is best suited to road training and recreational racing. Its stiff sole maximises power transfer on sustained efforts, while the ventilated upper makes it practical for India's high-heat conditions — ideal for riders in cities like Pune, Bangalore, or Hyderabad logging regular kilometres on roads and organised sportives.
What size Northwave Core 2 should I order?
Northwave shoes generally run true to EU sizing. Indian riders with wider forefeet should consider sizing up by half a size. Always measure both feet and try the shoes with your cycling socks. If you are between sizes, the wider foot should guide your choice. Heel slip means too large; toe pinch means too small.
Will the Northwave Core 2 hold up in India's monsoon and 35°C+ heat?
The Core 2's ventilated upper is well-suited to India's summer heat, encouraging airflow during rides in Hyderabad, Chennai, or Mumbai. For monsoon riding, pairing with waterproof shoe covers extends usability. After wet rides, clean with a damp cloth and allow to air-dry naturally — avoid leaving them in direct afternoon sun to protect closure components.
How does the Northwave Core 2 compare to other entry-level road cycling shoes?
Compared to basic touring or commuter shoes, the Core 2 offers a meaningfully stiffer sole for better power transfer — a clear advantage on climbs like Lonavala or Ooty. It sits below top-tier carbon-soled shoes in stiffness but provides a strong balance of performance and price, making it a practical first upgrade for riders moving off flat-soled footwear.
Is the Northwave Core 2 worth the price in India, and what warranty is included?
At Rs. 11,500 with free delivery above Rs. 2,500 and cash on delivery available across India, the Core 2 represents solid value for a dedicated road cycling shoe. Northwave backs its products with a manufacturer warranty against defects — contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty claims or product support after purchase.
