Just a quick glance at the 'last name' of this shoe gives you an idea of who it is aimed at. And as its commercial name suggests, this shoe from the famous British firm Inov-8 is designed for triathlon.
With a weight of 275 grams and a drop of 6 millimeters, this model, which is close to minimalism, is intended for that large group of trail runners who have a neutral stride and are looking for a fast and lightweight shoe to run on a surface such as asphalt.
It has an ultra-fast lacing system and an easy release system to save as many seconds as possible on the stopwatch between each of the transitions of the different sports disciplines of this demanding event.
The midsole has a special integrated drainage system to expel any water that might enter the shoe during a training session or competition. On the other hand, the Tri-X-Treme sole, which gives the shoe its name, offers excellent grip, something that triathletes will surely appreciate when it rains or the road is wet.
In short, it is a flying shoe, specially designed for triathlon and with a great balance between the reaction and cushioning processes generated in each stride.
