Cloudultra 2
Cloudultra 2 is a long-distance trail shoe for mountain training and ultra runs. It adds a slightly thicker forefoot midsole and a lighter, more breathable knit upper than the original. CloudTec and Helion foam pair with a Speedboard, while revised Missiongrip outsole geometry and lug placement increase ground contact by 50%. FlipRelease adjusts the fit, and an elastic band keeps laces secure.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- On's exact FW23 tech sheet lists 295g at men's US 8.5 and 265g at women's US 7.
- Plate note
- A Speedboard is present. On Japan explicitly calls it TPU, while the exact Footshop mens product and REI same-generation womens product call it nylon. The polymer descriptions conflict, but both identify a non-carbon structure, so carbon_plate remains false. This is not a claim that the shoe has no plate.
