Inov-8 X-TALON ULTRA 260 V2 men’s running shoes are designed to withstand heavy runners and endure maximum stress. The outsole is based on the iconic aggressive X-TALON 225 grip, with the difference that the cleats have a larger surface area.
The lugs are 8 mm long, so the X-TALON ULTRA 260 will get you out of even the thickest mud or deepest snow. the outer part of the sole has a harder compound that provides a perfect grip in the mud and the snow, while the inner part has a soft contact rubber that has excellent grip on stones and rocks;
The POWERFLOW midsole has an 8 mm drop and it is composed of two parts. The heel section has a softer compound and has a 10% higher level of cushioning, while the front section has a higher density, so it is slightly harder for a more effective spring. The protective DFB polymer ring follows the shape of the plantar fascia and improves spring.
The upper is made of an extremely durable ballistic nylon with a waterproof coating. This material ensures that the upper retains its shape even in case when it gets wet. The seamless upper provides great comfort.
The unrivalled grip, strength and robustness of this shoe will be appreciated on long obstacle runs, and on hard technical trails.
