Flight VECTIV

TrailReleased 2021-01-26Global

Flight VECTIV is an early-generation VECTIV trail racer built for runners pursuing speed over long distances. Its rocker geometry connects landing to toe-off, while a 3D carbon-fiber plate limits lateral movement and pairs with high-rebound dual-density EVA for propulsion and stability. A Matryx-panel and engineered-knit upper reduces weight, and bio-based Surface Control rubber targets grip from dry ground to mud.
