MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx

TrailReleased 2024-02-09JP

MTL Long Sky 2 Matryx refines the MTL Long Sky 2 for middle- to long-distance racing on rugged trails. A single-layer, Kevlar-reinforced Matryx upper cuts weight by about 15 percent while improving abrasion resistance, breathability and hold. FloatPro cushioning supports sustained comfort, and a full-length Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5 mm lugs supplies traction through rocks, debris and frequent direction changes.
