The Catamount Agil is Brooks' fast, low-stack trail racer aimed at short-to-medium trail races under 50k. Its nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2 midsole paired with the Pebax SpeedVault Trail Plate delivers a responsive, agile ride, while 4.5mm TrailTack Green lugs grip wet and dry ground. The snug mesh upper offers a locked-in, sock-like fit. Independent performance testing is thin, so ride durability and long-day comfort claims remain lightly verified.
Low-stack, responsive and agile with light, springy cushioning; the articulated plate adds propulsion on dynamic terrain rather than plush comfort.
Snug, second-skin mesh upper that wraps the foot securely and can be cinched for a fine-tuned lockdown; standard D width.
Runners wanting a light, nimble shoe for fast trail training and races up to 50k on varied and technical terrain.
You need maximum cushioning for long ultras, a wide fit, or a plush, protective ride for slow long-distance days.
