FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4
FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 is a carbon-plated road racer. Its revised FuelCell compound uses PEBA, while Energy Arc combines an arched plate with midsole voids and a changed carbon weave. Engineered mesh and bonded FANTOMFIT reinforcement secure the foot without a heavy upper. Longitudinal rubber placement completes the race-focused construction.
