We knew you've been waiting for this one for a while, but the wait is over. TheASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9 is here, one of the most relevant silhouettes from ASICS aimed at the most intrepid trail runners. This new top cushioning model includes the most cutting-edge technologies of the Japanese company, technologies that we will explain below and that will surely delight all those who try them and who are looking for a silhouette that allows them to move with ease on the most difficult surfaces. In addition, as we will tell in the following paragraphs, it should also be noted that with the arrival of this new model there has been a change of nomenclature in this saga.
The ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9 trail running shoes have been redesigned to offer you maximum guarantees. Some of the changes that we find with respect to its previous model is the reduction of weight, about 30 grams in particular. This extra lightness will help you move with more agility in your mountain adventures, so that you can achieve your goals. After giving a brief overview, we will now go on to detail all the technologies included in this silhouette.
Having said that, we begin the analysis of this ASICS model, as it is a general trend in RUNNEA, by the midsole, a midsole in which we find the FLYTEFOAM technology that combined with the GEL cushioning technology in the heel will allow you to enjoy smoother transitions and sensational cushioning, as well as a great reactive capacity, so you can get the most out of each and every one of your strides. In addition, the implementation of these technologies will offer you a great feeling of comfort, something really important when you carry out long distance races in the mountains.
Likewise, these men's and women's trail shoes feature the DUOMAX support system, which will give you extra stability by preventing overpronation that could occur while running.
Once we have analyzed the midsole, we move on to talk about the upper, in which we can also find significant modifications compared to the previous model, the ASICS GEL FUJITRABUCO 8, and this silhouette weighs about 30 grams less than the previous silhouette, which weighs 332 grams, thus providing a plus of lightness to the whole of the shoe that the without any doubt, will be appreciated, and much all those trail runners who demand lightweight shoes.
On the other hand, it should be noted that there has been a change in the nomenclature, since this new version is called "trabuco" and not "fujitrabuco", although what is still maintained is the silhouette of Mount Fuji in this shoe, which can be found just below the loop.
As we have been saying, the weight reduction of the silhouette has been produced thanks to the redesign of this upper, an upper that will guarantee an extraordinary fit and support thanks to the 3D overlays that this upper implements and that will give you that extra confidence that is so necessary when you move around the mountain.
On the other hand, this renewed upper will offer great breathability, facilitating the entry and exit of air from inside the shoe and making you keep your feet cool at all times.
Likewise, the upper not only stands out for offering you protection and breathability, but also stands out for its attractive design that originates as a result of the combination of different really striking colors.
Finally, we come to the outsole, which is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of any trail running shoe, and it is many trail runners who carefully analyze this part of this type of silhouette in order to find the model that offers them the best results depending on what they are looking for.
Having said that, when looking at the outsole of this silhouette, we can see that it features ASICSGRIP rubber, and that it also implements a raised studding up and down on the lateral area and in the medial area with the aim of offering you extraordinary traction even on the most slippery surfaces.
In addition, it should also be noted that it has a plate that will protect you against rocks, thus protecting your feet on rough terrain, so you can focus on running.
The ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9 trail running shoes for men and women are a model that will allow you to move at a fast pace in your mountain races, and that will offer you, as we have detailed above, great cushioning, as well as exceptional fit, stability and traction so that you can enjoy your mountain races to the fullest.
