Brooks Hyperion Elite 2

Today we analyze Brooks ' proposal for the carbon plate shoe market: the Hyperion Elite 2 .

These shoes are highly responsive and lightweight , allowing you to go faster, more efficiently, and with minimal energy expenditure.

The Hyperion Elite 2 offers excellent cushioning without adding weight. This is achieved with DNA Flash foam, an ultralight compound with great cushioning capacity.

The cushioning of the Hyperion Elite 2 is excellent, if we compare it to the Hyperion Tempo , this one is softer , with more travel , more stable and faster . Unlike other shoes with a carbon fiber plate, the cushioning of the Hyperion Elite 2 is progressive , that is, although the foam of the midsole, at first, sinks easily, it then does so gradually. This makes them the ideal shoes for runners who suffer, for example, discomfort in the fascia or Achilles tendon.

Thanks to the carbon fiber plate it incorporates, they improve running economy and our performance , since the transitions will be more fluid and we will have greater propulsion .

The carbon fiber plate has a geometry that makes it one of the most stable carbon plate shoes on the market , making it ideal for those runners who are not professional and go at slower paces.

The upper features a mesh with mechanical elasticity that adapts perfectly to the foot. This is a very lightweight and breathable upper that provides great comfort and improves performance .

The sole is made of 74º hard rubber, divided into two zones: forefoot and heel.

The Hyperion Elite 2 is recommended for lightweight runners (under 70 kg) who want a certain advantage in races ranging from short distances to marathons. It's one of the most popular carbon-plate shoes for all ages; you don't need to be an elite runner to use it.
