A dedicated trail racer for runners chasing fast times on buff, non-technical terrain — its road-inspired rocker and stiff carbon plate reward efficiency but demand runnable ground.
Firm, responsive A-TPU foam paired with an H-shaped carbon plate and aggressive rocker produces a propulsive, low-to-ground ride. The 3mm lugs and minimal outsole grip gravel and dirt but not soft or technical ground.
A pared-back, secure racing upper with a stretchy dynamic vamp; reviews are split, with some finding it true to size and others reporting a short, wide fit. Standard width only.
Racing and fast tempo efforts on gravel roads and smooth, runnable trails where a propulsive plated ride pays off.
You run technical, muddy, or highly variable terrain, or want a soft, forgiving platform for daily miles.
