The shoe, like the SCOTT Kinabalu 2, features a pronounced rocker design, and an evolution in the Evolved Rocker 2 (ER2) that is based on years of research and development by the brand.

The new rocker features a new advanced understanding of biomechanical principles to promote a more dynamic running position, reducing heel strike and increasing running efficiency. In short, with the new version, we will be able to run faster for longer and expend less energy.

The midsole of the shoe features one of the technologies developed by the brand, the Scott Kinetic Foam, a lightweight and highly reactive foam. This technology returns 14% more energy than standard EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), resulting in a smooth but stable and more dynamic ride, thus recovering more energy to run faster for longer.

The shoe also incorporates an Ortholite Ultra midsole for extra comfort and cushioning, with antibacterial properties to prevent unpleasant odors.

The outsole adapts to a wide range of different types of terrain, from the easiest to the most complicated and technically difficult, thanks to the new redesign of the lugs that optimizes contact with the surface and improves traction.

As for the technical specifications of the shoe, it has a 7 mm drop, with profiles of 295 in the rear and 225 in the front part of the shoe.
