MTN Racer 4
MTN Racer 4 is a high-cushion neutral trail shoe built for technical races and daily training. It retains the proven platform and Vibram Megagrip traction of its predecessor while adding an FKT insole for faster drainage and rebound, a tuned upper, and an improved gaiter attachment. ZipFoam protection, a roomy toe box, and a secure midfoot and heel support natural movement and confident footing on wet, rocky terrain.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- 295 g for men's M9 from the exact Topo Athletic Japan product page; the US official page independently lists 10.4 oz for men's M9.
- Plate note
- Complete exact JP and US pages describe the midsole, FKT insole, Vibram Megagrip, upper and core specifications without identifying carbon. The US specifications explicitly state Rock Plate: No. The complete construction supports the existing non-carbon classification; that narrow rock-plate statement is not expanded into absence of every plate structure.
