MTL Skyfire 2
MTL Skyfire 2 is an ultralight trail racer co-developed for vertical and short mountain races. A breathable mesh and TPU upper sits above two layers of FloatPro, with a full-length BZM-8 plate made from glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide between them for protection and torsional control. A trimmed Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5 mm lugs grips wet rock and rugged terrain, supporting agile climbs without excess rubber.
