Manufacturer specifications
- Intended use
- Designed for trail racing, including longer efforts.
- Construction
- 100% Arnitel TPEE midsole, open-weave Dyneema upper and Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole with 4 mm lugs.
- Manufacturer specifications
- 214 g in US M8.5; 177 g in US W8. Claimed drop: 7 mm.
- Measurement caveat
- BITR confirms no plate and identifies the published 28.5/21.5 mm as midsole-only. Do not compare this directly with total stack heights.
- Independent test: strength
- After more than 100 training miles, iRunFar still found responsive cushioning and an intact upper.
- Independent test: limitation
- BITR wanted firmer heel and midfoot hold on technical sections; the tread struggled more in deep, soft terrain.
