Our read
Ride

A very light carbon-plated racer with a firm, propulsive ride from FF TURBO PLUS foam and a full 38mm stack that stays responsive rather than soft.

Fit

Standard width only, with a snug race-oriented upper that suits narrow to medium feet.

Best for

Competitive runners chasing fast times over 5K to marathon distances who want maximum energy return at minimal weight.

Avoid if

You want a cushioned platform for daily miles or need lateral stability at slower paces.
