Kinvara 13
Kinvara 13 is the thirteenth-generation lightweight neutral speed trainer. Saucony returned to the original Kinvara focus on low weight and speed, changing the mesh and reducing upper layers to make it the lightest version at launch. A PWRRUN midsole, PWRRUN+ topsole and FORMFIT construction preserve its flexible character, while XT-900 carbon rubber adds traction and durability for road training and faster efforts.
