Photos ASICS Gel Trabuco 12
1 / 3
One of the flagships of ASICS for mountain is back, now, in its version number 12. We speak, how could it be otherwise, of the best-selling trail running, the ASICS Gel Trabuco 12, a model that comes with the best features for maximum enjoyment in nature.
The ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 is a trail running shoe that is designed to perfectly combine adaptable stability with lightweight performance. Overall, the ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 is the perfect combination of support and durability, ensuring a safe and comfortable run.
Key features of the ASICS Gel Trabuco 12
The ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 is an ASICS trail running shoe that stands out for its midsole, which features ASICS' FLYTEFOAM BLAST cushioning, offering a smooth ride and an energetic toe-off. In addition, the GEL technology so characteristic of the Japanese company in the heel area improves shock absorption, creating a softer feel in each step.
This is a model for training and competition with great cushioning, perfect stability and all-terrain character. In addition, it has a flexible plate that protects the foot from rocks and other elements so you can go confidently into technical terrain. The revamped ASICS GRIP technology outsole ensures superior traction on a variety of surfaces, just as we've come to expect from its predecessor, the ASICS Gel Trabuco 11
Ideal runner of the ASICS Gel Trabuco 12
As far as ideal profile is concerned, this ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 is a shoe with maximum versatility. It is a model with a medium-strong build, which will be able to fit perfectly with runners of all types of weight, even above 90-95 kilos. We must remember that we are talking about an essentially rolling model where comfort and safety prevail over speed, but which will be able to adapt to all types of terrain and circumstances.
A model with which we assure that you will be able to face a large number of kilometers, either in training or competitions. Therefore, we are talking about a model suitable from medium distance sessions to even ultra marathons. As if that were not enough, we are talking about a model of medium paces, which will surely allow us to run at a good pace on compact gravel or hard-packed terrain.
ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 technical specifications
Some of the most significant technical details of these ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 can be found, as it could not be otherwise, in its midsole. The FLYTEFOAM BLAST technology, which provides soft cushioning with energy and rebound, combines perfectly with the Gel system and the Adaptive Guidance for greater shock absorption and a much more natural and fluid running sensation.
Besides, these trail running shoes for men and women stand out for maintaining the features that have made the line exemplary, with an ASICS GRIP outsole, proven traction and grip and a protection plate against rocks and elements on the way. A model that also maintains a high percentage of recycled materials and features a drop of 8 millimeters and a not excessive weight of 314 grams.

Protection and comfort are the words that define this Asics Gel Trabuco 12
It was in the 1990s when Asics began to design specific shoes for Trail Running. More than 20 years later comes its latest model, Asics Gel TRABUCO 12, the new version of one of the quintessential trail shoes. The Trabuco already has 26 editions, 14 editions of the Trabuco and 12 of the current Fuji Trabuco. A shoe with a continuing character of its previous model and designed to run on any terrain, thanks to its additional cushioning, with total comfort. Robust at first glance, very soft to the touch when you put it on. The Japanese brand has achieved one of the most versatile shoes on the market.
A model designed for runners of medium weight, and even high, looking for protection and comfort in equal parts. The speed, in this case, is the disadvantage; since we prioritise safety ahead of the pace but we get a softer and more natural feeling in the way we run because the new design, a little narrower, gives the shoe greater support.
It is oriented to long distance, which is why comfort is a priority, but I would define it as a multi-purpose shoe, to run from medium to ultra distances. They're comfortable when you put them on, and the gel capsule inside the midsole, in the rear part of the shoe, is responsible for the softness in our landings. I think that this year they will be a great companion, both in training and in competitions.
What I liked the most
What I liked the most about the new Asics Gel Trabuco 12 is the FLYTE FOAM BLAST, which guarantees more comfort and helps to reduce impact on our joints. The ASICSGRIP outsole provides fantastic grip in the most difficult terrain conditions thanks to its multidirectional star-shaped lugs. An outsole that, as we know, is one of the best options on the market and that will ensure great durability.
The ASICS Gel Trabuco 12 has 35 mm in the heel and 27 mm in the forefoot with a drop of 8 mm, which allows you to adapt to the shoe quickly. Another noteworthy point is its Rock Protection Plate technology, which protects the foot from rocks without interfering with our stride, thanks to the flexibility. The tongue hides a tape in the area of interlaced laces to collect the excess lace length, and thus avoid problems- something that I have already tested in several models, which I think is a great idea.
Points for improvement
One of the downsides I can see to this Trabuco 12 is that its weight, with respect to the previous model, has increased at the expense of better cushioning, which limits our running pace.
In short, these new Asics Gel Trabuco 12 are a safe bet in both dry and wet terrain for any type of training or distance thanks to their great grip. The design of this shoe focuses on protection and comfort, which is aided by the technical mesh made from recycled materials in the upper- that also brings comfort to the forefoot area.
