A do-everything technical trail shoe for runners who want soft cushioning without sacrificing stability, defined by its wide chassis-supported platform. Best if you value grip and protection over low weight.
Soft optiFOAM cushioning with a rocker geometry and an activeCHASSIS that adds guidance and stability underfoot. The 8mm drop and moderate stack keep it grounded on technical ground.
Regular width with an endoFit internal sleeve and quickLACE for a snug, precise hold. Not suited to wide feet.
Technical and mixed trails in wet or muddy conditions where 4mm lugs and contaGRIP traction matter, for runners logging a few sessions a week.
You want a lightweight, fast shoe or a plush max-cushion ride for long ultras, as it is fairly heavy and lacks a rock plate.
