Hyperion Max 2

Speed TrainerRelease date 2024-10-08JP

Hyperion Max 2 moves the series toward faster training and race use. Brooks replaces DNA FLASH with v2 foam and adds cushioning under heel and forefoot. A Pebax SpeedVault plate works with Rapid Roll geometry to guide the transition from landing to toe-off. A breathable mesh upper and RoadTack rubber add workout-ready fit and abrasion resistance.
