GEL-CUMULUS 26
GEL-CUMULUS 26 is a lightweight daily trainer for road-race preparation, treadmill miles and social jogs. It carries over PureGEL, FF BLAST PLUS and full-ground contact from version 25, then adds a lean-back heel for comfort. Its new FLUIDRIDE outsole blends rubberized EVA foam to soften impact, improve traction and smooth transitions. ASICS positions it as a versatile neutral option for short and long distances.
