MTL Skyfire 2 Matryx

TrailReleased 2024-02-09JP

MTL Skyfire 2 Matryx evolves the MTL Skyfire 2 for quick courses, technical ascents and vertical racing. Its single-layer Matryx upper combines Kevlar and high-tenacity polyamide to curb stretch, improve breathability and abrasion resistance, and cut weight by about 7 percent. A BZM-8 FlexPlate adds protection and stability, while dual-density FloatPro and Vibram Megagrip with 5 mm lugs support fast, rugged climbs.
