Our read

The Xodus Ultra 4 positions itself as a plush, protective long-distance trail cruiser. Its 36/30mm PWRRUN PB stack promises soft, bouncy comfort over big miles while a firmer PWRRUN chassis adds durability and structure. Vibram MegaGrip with 4mm lugs handles rugged and wet terrain, though at 280g it favors comfort over speed.

Ride

A soft, cushioned ride from PWRRUN PB framed by a more responsive PWRRUN chassis, with a moderate 6mm drop tuned for extended time on feet rather than fast turnover.

Fit

Fit details are not documented in available evidence; a standard trail last is assumed pending independent testing.

Best for

Trail runners wanting maximum cushioning and reliable Vibram grip for long runs and ultra-distance efforts on rugged terrain.

Avoid if

You want a lightweight, low-to-the-ground racer or precise ground feel on technical singletrack.
