How it compares
Side-by-side with its neighbouring generations.
Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
Deep cushioning with a 5mm drop, now livelier thanks to a supercritical foam midsole that adds pop without going soft. Grip is the standout on rock and loose terrain.
Fit
Standard width only with a refined, more secure heel collar and gaiter integration; runs true to size with a moderately snug midfoot.
Best for
Runners wanting a well-cushioned trail shoe with aggressive grip for technical and long outings.
Avoid if
You need a wide fit or want a firm, ground-connected feel for fast runs.
