Saucony Carrera XC4 · Men's Cross-Country Spike
Lightweight race grip for grass, trail, and gravel
The men's Saucony Carrera XC4 in Green Mutant is a 5.4 oz cross-country racing spike with an engineered-mesh ISOFIT upper, SSL EVA cushioning, and a six-pin plate.
Built for the unpredictability of cross country
Cross-country racing can shift from grass to hardpack, loose gravel, and trail in a single kilometer. The Carrera XC4 combines low weight with aggressive traction and a secure upper so athletes can stay efficient across those transitions.
Green Mutant gives the spike an unmistakable high-energy finish against mud, grass, and team kits.
