Cyclone 3
Cyclone 3 is a lightweight road trainer for tempo sessions, track workouts and racing up to a half marathon. Compared with its predecessor, the mesh upper is refined for durability and outsole rubber is optimized for wear resistance. Full-length Pebax Powered foam and rocker geometry remain central to the design, with an anatomical toe box and secure midfoot fit.
