Our read
A dedicated middle-distance racing spike for competitive track runners chasing 800m to mile PRs; the carbon plate and featherweight build define it, and nothing else.
Ride
Springy and responsive underfoot with a 0mm drop, keeping you up on your toes; the carbon plate adds propulsion off each stride.
Fit
Runs true to size for a spike, with a notably wider, less cramped forefoot than most track spikes.
Best for
Middle-distance track racers running 800m-1500m who want carbon-plated propulsion in a minimal spike.
Avoid if
You need cushioning for road, distance, or training; this is a bare, event-specific track spike only.
