Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride

Firm, responsive DNA Flash-based ride at a relatively light 269 g, tuned for turning over quickly on climbs and rolling terrain rather than plush comfort.

Fit

Standard width only with a race-oriented, moderately snug trail fit; no wide option for high-volume feet.

Best for

Fast trail efforts and shorter races where a firm, snappy platform matters more than long-haul cushioning.

Avoid if

You want a soft, forgiving ride for long slow miles or need a wide fit.
