Our read
Ride

A low-stack, 4 mm drop platform that stays firm and connected to the ground, with a responsive EExpure midsole rather than plush protection.

Fit

Standard width only with a secure, race-oriented fit from the Dyneema upper; runners needing extra volume have no wide option.

Best for

Fast, technical trail racing where ground feel and Megagrip traction matter more than long-distance cushioning.

Avoid if

You want a soft, high-stack ride for long ultras or need underfoot protection on rocky ground.
