Our read
A dedicated trail racer for runners chasing efficiency over long, technical distances; the twin carbon plates and firm PEBA define a propulsive, ground-connected ride at a premium price.
Ride
Firm and responsive underfoot with a noticeable push-off from the winged carbon plates, and enough foam for long efforts without feeling plush.
Fit
Fits true to size with a secure lockdown and a knit gaiter-style collar that keeps out debris; offered in standard width only.
Best for
Runners racing ultra and long trail distances who want carbon-plated propulsion and integrated debris protection.
Avoid if
You want a soft, forgiving ride, need a wide fit, or don't want to pay a race-day premium for casual trail runs.
