FuelCell Rebel v5
FuelCell Rebel v5 is a lightweight trainer for daily miles and faster sessions. Its PEBA/EVA FuelCell midsole carries more foam in a wider, taller shape than its predecessor, with added forefoot rubber below. Engineered mesh and FantomFit provide lightweight support, while a gusseted tongue and redesigned heel and tongue refine the fit for runs that change pace.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Current exact JP and US men's PDPs list 223 g. The 2025 global announcement gives 225 g for US men's 9.5 D; its stated size context is retained rather than silently replacing the current PDP weight.
- Plate note
- Complete exact JP and US construction specifications describe PEBA/EVA FuelCell, engineered mesh with FantomFit, and a redesigned rubber outsole without a carbon structure. This supports non-carbon classification, not an explicit no-plate statement.
