Description
The Northwave Tribe 2 MTB Cycling Shoes are built for riders who split their Time between trail, gravel, and road — offering a walkable sole with enough stiffness for genuine power transfer. Whether you're grinding up the Western Ghats near Lonavala, exploring gravel tracks outside Pune, or tackling the climbs around Ooty, these shoes balance trail practicality with on-bike efficiency.
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
MTB shoes are often overlooked in favour of road-specific options, but Indian terrain rewards the versatility of the Tribe 2. The recessed cleat design means you can walk rocky approaches or café stops without slipping on wet tiles during monsoon season. In Chennai or Hyderabad's 38°C+ summer heat, the ventilation built into the upper keeps feet far cooler than a fully enclosed road shoe would. A solid choice for riders who value adaptability.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Northwave sizing generally runs true to EU standard, but Indian riders with wider forefeet — common across many regional foot shapes — should consider sizing up half a size. Always try shoes wearing the cycling socks you ride in. In India's heat, feet swell during long rides, so a little extra room in the toe box is better than a snug fit that turns uncomfortable after an hour.
Compatibility Notes
The Tribe 2 uses a 2-bolt SPD-compatible cleat pattern, making it compatible with Shimano SPD and most mountain bike pedal systems. Cleats are sold separately — confirm your pedal standard before ordering. The sole accepts third-party insoles for fit refinement. Closure system components are user-replaceable, which is practical given India's dusty road conditions.
Pairs Well With
Complete your MTB setup with Shimano SPD pedals for reliable cleat engagement, moisture-wicking merino or synthetic cycling socks, a lightweight MTB helmet for trail riding, and a hydration pack or frame bag for longer gravel adventures in places like Coorg or the Sahyadris.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Northwave Tribe 2 MTB Cycling Shoes best used for?
The Tribe 2 suits riders who mix trail riding, gravel routes, and light off-road touring. The recessed SPD-compatible cleat lets you walk comfortably at cafés, on rocky approaches, or across the wet surfaces common during India's monsoon season. It's a versatile everyday shoe for cyclists in Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, or anywhere the terrain varies.
What size Northwave Tribe 2 should I order?
Northwave shoes run true to EU sizing for most riders. If you have wider forefeet — a common fit consideration for many Indian riders — go half a size up. Always try them on with your cycling socks. Feet swell during long rides in Indian heat, so a slightly roomier toe box is preferable to a fit that tightens over time.
Will the Northwave Tribe 2 hold up in India's monsoon and 35°C+ heat?
Yes. The ventilated upper is designed for hot-weather riding and performs well in India's summer temperatures. The recessed cleat keeps you stable on wet surfaces during monsoon rides. The closure system and sole materials are durable enough for India's varied road and trail conditions, from Mumbai coastal humidity to the drier heat of Rajasthan.
How do the Northwave Tribe 2 MTB shoes compare to road cycling shoes?
Road shoes prioritise maximum stiffness and minimal weight for pure power transfer but are impractical to walk in. The Tribe 2 trades a small amount of that stiffness for a walkable sole and recessed cleat, making it far more practical for Indian trail riding, gravel events, and bikepacking. Riders doing pure road racing would benefit from a dedicated road shoe instead.
Is the Northwave Tribe 2 worth Rs. 9,925 in India, and what warranty is included?
At Rs. 9,925, the Tribe 2 offers genuine Italian build quality with ventilation and walkability rarely found at this price in the Indian market. For riders who ride mixed terrain or want one versatile shoe, the value is strong. Northwave products come with a standard manufacturer warranty; contact Cobbled Climbs for warranty claims with proof of purchase.
