Built to maintain speed on technical terrain. The double resilient Cushioning and parallel carbon plates provide a firm, direct, and distinctly propulsive feeling. Especially on long climbs, fast flat sections, and when accelerating out of corners, you notice that the shoe helps you keep moving efficiently.

Aimed at long and intensive trail races. The Fit supports the foot when the terrain becomes rougher, while the higher collar helps keep pebbles and other grit out. The breathable Upper remains relatively airy even during wet or intense kilometers.

The difference becomes clear when fatigue sets in. During ultras and long trail runs, the combination of resilience and plate construction helps keep your push-off active, especially when your legs start to lose their freshness. On technical descents, however, the direct nature requires sufficient control and experience.

Choose this shoe for speed and efficiency on long, technical trails. If you are looking for a relaxed and forgiving trail shoe for easy runs, a less stiff option would be a better fit.
