INTRODUCTION

The Trialblade is a moderate feature, moderate neutral trail shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. It is built with semi-curve shape.

CUSHIONING

• Hydroflow ST is located in the heel and is a cushioning device which consists of a chamber filled with viscous fluid. Hydroflow ST is designed to attenuate shock, dampen impact forces, and provide added heel stability.
• Forefoot Hydroflow is located where the metatarsal head region of the foot rests in the shoe. Forefoot Hydroflow is designed to attenuate shock and dampen forces.

MIDSOLE

• DRB Accel is located at the bottom of the midsole in the midfoot. DRB Accel is an injected thermoplastic polyurethane unit which is intended to balance support and torsional rigidity with responsiveness for smooth and fast heel-to-toe movement.
• Cush Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on maximum cushioning and flexibility.

UPPER

• Air Mesh covers the upper and is a breathable mesh that allows heat to escape.
• Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit.
• BioS-257 is a greener version of the S-257 material, which releases a non-toxic, natural additive when placed in active landfill that helps break down the midsole faster.
• Cushsole S-257 Last utilizes a full length layer of advanced foam to provide cushioning and flexibility.

OUTSOLE

• HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel.
• Cush Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on maximum cushioning and flexibility.
