MTL SpeedARC Peak

TrailPlanned release 2026-07-15Global

MTL SpeedARC Peak is an elite technical-trail racer shaped through five years, 154 prototypes and about 13,000 test miles. Its three-layer SpeedARC system places a forked Carbon FlexPlate between PEBA racing foam and a durable FloatPro base so the forefoot can adapt to uneven ground. An abrasion-resistant Matryx upper and Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole support speed, control and traction over long race miles.

Intended uses:
Trail, Race, Long run

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Retains the previously verified US PDP half-pair weight of 10.75 oz / 305 g. The current rendered PDP omits its specification panel; the exact official guide section reconfirms only 10.75 oz. The 305 g value is preserved historical evidence, not a new conversion. Sample size is unstated.
Plate note
The official Merrell US product page confirms a Carbon FlexPlate.
