A dedicated distance spike for the track, the Dragonfly 2 Elite pairs an ultralight ZoomX midsole with a carbon plate to deliver a propulsive, bouncy feel that runners credit with PRs from 200m repeats up to 3200m races. It's a race-day tool: durability is a genuine weakness, with tearing and plate damage reported after just a few meets, so it's effectively disposable for serious competitors. Fit runs large.
Propulsive and responsive, with the carbon plate and ZoomX combination producing a bouncy, efficient turnover suited to track pace.
Runs large; reviewers recommend sizing down a half size for a locked-in racing fit.
Track athletes racing 3K, 5K and 10K distances, plus faster mid-distance interval work on the oval.
You need durability for frequent use, run anything off the track, or race in states with spike-length regulations the permanent spikes may exceed.
