Technologies and manufacturing processes

• "Carbitex GearFlexu2122 Flax Plate"

  "Carbitex GearFlexu2122 Flax Plate uses carbon fibers and flax fibers. Carbitex has succeeded in utilizing the inherent mechanical properties of flax to create composite parts with high stiffness, fracture, torsional and compressive strength, making it a perfect material for high performance footwear applications. The bio-based composites retain the high performance properties required in the high performance footwear category that previously could only be achieved by traditional carbon composites. The plate is dynamically flexible and responds to you by increasing stiffness as you increase speed and maintaining flexibility as you walk. By dynamically increasing the stiffness as the plate flexes, you get more power and efficiency when you need it and more freedom of movement when you don't. It's like having a spike and a running shoe in one."

• Ultra Traction

  "Our Ultra Traction outsole is specifically designed for ultra-running on fast rolling trails. The semi-radial design ensures maximum efficiency in forward motion while maintaining multi-directional traction elements to keep you safe when the trail starts to twist and turn. Our latest traction solution is best suited for fast, smooth summer trails on any track and at any speed."

• Evolved Rocker2

  "Evolved Rocker2 (ER2) is based on 10 years of continuous research and development and is our most efficient running platform to date. ER2 applies our advanced understanding of biomechanical principles to promote a more dynamic running position, reduce heel strike and increase running efficiency. Simply put": "You can run faster and for longer with less energy."

• Kinetic Light Foam

  "Kinetic Light Foam is our constantly evolving proprietary foam technology. This lightweight foam improves on the properties of our existing high rebound midsoles, offering even more rebound in an even lighter package. Soft, light and responsive, but with a high level of durability. You get more energy back so you can run longer and faster."
