Hyperion Max 3

Speed TrainerRelease date 2025-08-28JP

Hyperion Max 3 is a high-stack speed trainer for tempo work, long runs and racing. Compared with Max 2, Brooks pairs DNA FLASH v2 with a DNA GOLD layer in a taller platform. A nylon SpeedVault plate and RapidRoll geometry guide transitions, while RoadTack rubber supplies the road contact. The combination retains the series' fast-training role while adding more cushioning for longer efforts.

Intended uses:
Long run
