Inov8 TrailFly Zero V2 improves upon the original with refined fit, better design execution, and reliable performance across varied trail conditions.
That new foam is now a proprietary Norda x Arnitel thermoplastic polyester elastomer blend that aims to deliver 30 percent more rebound than the original 001. It weighs 10 percent less and still delivers that signature durability that lasts beyond 1,000 kilometers (621 miles).
The Altra Timp 6 sits squarely in the middle of the Altra cushioned lineup, with a 30-millimeter stack height that works well as a nimble door-to-trail option. It carries less bulk than the Altra Olympus 6, with its 33-millimeter stack height under the heel, but offers more cushion and stability than the lower, faster-feeling Altra Lone Peak 9, which has a 25-millimeter stack under the heel.
This latest iteration offers more cushioning and protection than ever, with an outsole that looks like it could be tread on a small bulldozer. Its generous 43-millimeter stack height at the heel and 35 millimeters under the forefoot for women, with 2 millimeters more on the men's side, and actual weight of 11.1 ounces (314 grams) for a U.S. men's 9 make it anything but svelte, yet the ride is surprisingly forgiving - absorbing impact without feeling sluggish.
