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.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Salomon Japan's men's L478027 lists 290 g; sample size is unspecified. The prior 256 g figure is separately shown for women's L475610 and is not used as the men's reference.
- Plate note
- Salomon Japan's exact product page documents Energy Foam, All Terrain Contagrip, and upper construction, while REI's exact men's page explicitly lists Rock Plate as No. No carbon structure is identified, so carbon_plate is false.
