A tall, propulsive PEBA platform with dual winged carbon plates that feels lively and cushioned rather than harsh. The 5 mm drop and balanced firmness keep it fast without going fully rigid.
Standard width only with a secure race-oriented upper; runners with wide feet may find it snug over long efforts.
Trail and ultra racers who want max cushion plus carbon propulsion on runnable to moderately technical terrain.
You run very technical, rocky, or muddy trails where a tall stack and moderate 4 mm lugs feel unstable or lack bite.
