Men's Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra
Lightstrike Pro Midsole and Energy Rod Technology
Men's Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra Specs:
Continental™ Rubber Outsole
Adidas added the famous Continental™ Rubber made famous on Tour De France road bikes and F1 racing cars to their Men's Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra. The lugs have an ingenious design with deeper 3mm lugs on the outer rim of the shoe and shallower lugs on the inside of the outsole. This allows runners to maintain grip on cambered and variable terrain while not encumbering speed and responsiveness on flat/smoother surfaces.
Energy Rods
Unlike other major trail running brands Adidas opted to utilize a rod system as opposed to a plate system in their high end racing/training shoes. The rods act as an extension of the metatarsal bones allowing for increased foot dexterity over variable terrain trail conditions. Adidas choose TPU rods for their high levels of durability, flexibility and tensile strength. Compared to carbon plated trail runners the TPU allows for greater control during the foot-strike and toe off without sacrificing speed.
Lightstrike Pro Midsole
The highest quality foam in the Adidas Running lineup. The Lightstrike Pro Midsole is composed of TPEE (Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer). What does that mean? In simple terms TPEE foam is composed of an alignment of hard and soft compounds. This makes the foam highly responsive and durable. When combined with Energy Rods the Men's Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra becomes an extremely fast, nimble and durable race day 100 mile trail runner.
