Our read

A dedicated trail race-day shoe for runners who want propulsion and grip on technical ground; the carbon plate and rockered geometry make it a specialist, not a daily trainer.

Ride

Full-length carbon plate and rockered geometry deliver a propulsive, forward-tipping ride, while 5 mm lugs and the DREAM TPU foam handle varied trail surfaces.

Fit

Standard width only, with tongue wings and a reworked heel for improved midfoot and heel lockdown on technical terrain.

Best for

Trail racing and fast efforts on technical terrain where grip and a propulsive plate matter.

Avoid if

You want a cushioned daily trainer, need wide sizing, or prefer a softer, more forgiving ride for easy miles.
