Brooks Mazama 2: main features

Below we will analyze the main features of the Brooks Mazama 2 and point out the most outstanding novelties of this new update. First of all, we must emphasize that this is a light and fast model but with a very good protection. The midsole is formed through the DNA compound, a foam that allows impeccable shock absorption and adapts to the requirements and movements of each type of athlete. In this part of the trail running shoe we also find the Propulsion Plate, a plate that offers a correct alignment: a key element to achieve a great impulse. The combination of both elements results in a trail running shoe with impeccable efficiency and power.

While it is true that the main novelties of these Brooks Mazama 2 are concentrated in the upper area, small modifications have been introduced in the sole. The outsole of this model is made of sticky rubber and its structure, with bi-directional traction, consists of directional lugs that provide fast footwork. Even so, it is important to emphasize that due to its lowdrop of 6 millimeters, a good running technique is necessary if future injuries are to be avoided.

Upper of the Brooks Mazama 2, the most outstanding innovation

As we have already pointed out above, the most outstanding novelties of these Brooks Mazama 2 are concentrated in the upper area. The new structure of the upper is more flexible, breathable and lighter compared to the previous model. The incorporation of this new mesh provides superior drainage, which translates into faster drying. Undoubtedly, an advantage for the use of these trail running shoes on the muddiest and wettest terrain.

It is also important to note that the heel collar is more padded than in the previous version and this is an improvement in comfort. However, the upper of this shoe is less reinforced than in the original version and this may lead to a slight reduction in the durability of the model.

Technical specifications of the Brooks Mazama 2

Undoubtedly, the trail running model of the American company, the Brooks Mazama 2, is among the most preferred by mountain runners. It isaimed at a profile of runners with a medium or light weight who are looking for speed and have a good running technique. Due to its 6 mm drop (17 mm in the forefoot and 23 mm in the heel) the result is a trail running shoe suitable for use in short training sessions or intervals or series, without renouncing the competitive environment.

Thanks to the new upper update, the model gains in breathability and drainage capacity. The weight of this trail running shoe is 263 grams, making it a good choice for runners with a neutral stride.
