FuelCell Propel v5
FuelCell Propel v5 is a plated trainer for everyday training and runners starting to target race times. Compared with v4, it uses a lighter FuelCell compound with increased rebound and a lighter mesh upper for ventilation. The TPU plate is retained, while rubber placement follows running-path data. A flexible outsole layout and Ndurance at the outer heel address movement and wear during daily use.
