THUNDERCROSS
THUNDERCROSS is the non-waterproof base model for rugged, muddy, and technical trails. Energy Foam provides cushioning and rebound, while SensiFit and Quicklace secure the foot and anti-debris mesh helps keep trail material out. Its All Terrain Contagrip outsole uses deep 5 mm chevron lugs for multidirectional traction on wet, dry, hard, and loose surfaces, with extra penetration in mud and soft dirt.
