Hyperion Elite 6
Hyperion Elite 6 updates Brooks' road-racing platform for half marathons and marathons. Its DNA GOLD foam is softer than in the previous version, while the size-tuned SpeedVault+ carbon plate has revised shape and angles. A reworked RapidRoll rocker and toe spring guide the transition through the forefoot. A light TPU-coated upper provides hold and stretch where needed; high-grip rubber is placed in outsole zones.
