A soft, high-stack trail cruiser for runners who want comfort over long, non-technical miles rather than agility on rough ground. Its big cushioned platform defines the ride.
Soft, high-rebound foam over a 36/30 mm stack with a 6 mm drop gives a plush, forgiving feel underfoot. The wider platform adds stability that offsets the tall, soft stack.
Standard width only, with a seamless engineered upper, padded collar and dual midfoot webbing for lockdown. No wide option, so runners needing extra volume should look elsewhere.
Long, smooth trail and door-to-trail miles where cushioning and comfort matter more than ground feel.
You run technical, rocky terrain and want a low, connected ride, since there is no rock plate and the tall soft stack reduces precision.
