What makes the R1 different?
The R1 centers on efficiency and consistency over long stretches of pavement. Its LightCELL cushioning and ZeroSag inserts aim to maintain a steady ride through high-mileage efforts. The brand designed it especially for ultra-distance and multi-day road racing, but it also fits regular long runs for runners who enjoy a lighter, responsive shoe. TUNEDFIT dual lacing adjusts the forefoot and midfoot separately, useful as feet change volume during long efforts.
Terrain: Paved races and training. Not designed with trail lugs for loose or technical terrain.
Best use: Road ultras / multi-day.
Cushion system: LightCELL foam with ZeroSag inserts.
Specifications: 8.5 oz (US men's 9), 8 mm drop. Heel / forefoot stack: 35 mm heel / 27 mm forefoot.
- LightCELL base plus ZeroSag inserts for consistent road cushioning
- TUNEDFIT dual-zone lacing for adjustable forefoot and midfoot fit
