Zinal

TrailPlanned release 2021-07-01JP

Zinal is a first-generation lightweight trail racer built for short-to-middle distances, vertical races, and technical terrain. Its dual-density PROFLY midsole combines lightweight foam above with rubberized EVA below to balance cushioned landings and forward drive. Vibram Megagrip Litebase with 4mm lugs keeps traction light, while recycled mesh, a gusseted tongue, and toe reinforcement help block debris.
