Speed TrainerReleased 2023-03-10JP

FuelCell Propel v4 is an accessible plated trainer for runners new to propulsion and athletes adding faster work to daily training. FuelCell foam pairs with a TPU plate that New Balance calls more flexible than carbon, while an Energy Arc-inspired Void construction balances rebound and control. A breathable, durable mesh upper and rubber along the transition path support stable toe-offs and harder sessions.
