What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a comfortable, durable road-to-trail shoe with softer ReactX cushioning, a roomier upper and better materials, best on roads, gravel and non-technical trails. They differ on grip: RunRepeat found it still lacking, while Believe in the Run's testers thought the outsole much improved. RunRepeat also noted a small weight increase.
