ASICS Gel Hyper Tri 2

Yes, the shadow of the Gel Noosa Tri family of ASICS Running is long, but this does not mean that within the extensive catalog of the Japanese firm two Running shoes within the same segment cannot coexist, and that both models complement each other. This is what happens with the second release of the ASICS Gel Hyper Tri. An ultralight and flying model, designed to compete in short triathlon distances, such as Olympic or sprint distances, and even in duathlons.

Weighing 136 grams and with a low profile and a 6-millimeter drop, the ASICS Gel Hyper Tri 2 is designed for runners who move at a very fast pace and seek to minimize the time lost in each transition they cover. But they also demand an efficient technique.

Thus, this model incorporates elastic laces, which make the Hyper Tri 2 easy to tie and remove in the middle of the race. A detail that is also reinforced by the heel and tongue pull tabs. In addition, the seamless inner lining increases the comfort of the shoe, which can be worn without the need for socks.

Ultralight but with optimal cushioning

On the other hand, despite its extraordinary lightness, the ASICS Gel Hyper Tri 2 does not compromise on optimal cushioning. To this end, the model comes with the characteristic ASICS Gel system in the heel area, without it appearing in the midfoot and forefoot, which provides firmer cushioning and greater reactivity.

The Guidance Line system, along the entire sole, contributes to a more natural foot strike. In addition, the rubber compound of the outsole improves grip and durability. The midsole incorporates the innovative "Magic Ventilation" technology, perforations that allow moisture to escape, resulting in a more breathable model.

The ASICS Hyper Tri 2 are designed for runners with a neutral stride, and rather light in weight (up to 60 kilos), to run short distance competitions, and at very fast paces, below 4 kilometers per hour.
