Cyclone 2
Cyclone 2 is a plateless road trainer for speed sessions, fast daily miles and racing up to a half marathon. Full-length Pebax Powered foam replaces the previous midsole design, paired with rocker geometry. A new engineered-mesh upper and more foam around the heel collar add ventilation and secure the midfoot, while the anatomical toe box leaves room for toe splay.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Directly published 196 g per men's M9 shoe from the exact Japanese Runners Pulse launch article. Fleet Feet also lists 6.9 oz at M9; the registered gram value no longer depends on converting that ounce figure.
- Plate note
- Fleet Feet's exact men's Cyclone 2 page explicitly describes it as a plateless shoe, so carbon_plate is classified as false. REI's exact product page corroborates the Pebax Powered midsole and die-cut rubber outsole.
