A dedicated race-day super-shoe: at 198g with a full carbon plate and Infinion foam, it's engineered for propulsion and energy return over marathon distances rather than everyday mileage.
Infinion foam paired with a fine-tuned carbon plate creates a propulsive, responsive ride with race-ready cushioning that reviewers say holds up over longer distances.
Translucent FANTOMFIT mesh upper delivers a glove-like, barely-there feel. User feedback flags a narrow forefoot on prior versions, reportedly improved in v6, and a wide (2E) option is available alongside standard (D).
Racers wanting a light, propulsive carbon shoe for 5K through marathon efforts on the road.
You want a durable daily trainer, need maximum stability, or have very wide feet and dislike a snug racing fit.
