Fresh out of Outdoor Retailer 2012 is a sneak peak of
Inov-8’s upcoming road running category. The Road – Xtreme line bridges the gap
between the Road-X line (traditional raised heel and high wearing outsole) and
the barefoot/minimalist Bare-X line. The Road – Xtreme models will be built
with men’s and women’s specific models, unlike other styles in the Inov-8 line.
These road specific shoes will be much lighter as they use a road grade Fusion EVA and
sticky rubber pods in strategic high wear areas. Styles will vary in heel-toe
differential throughout the three styles. Seen on the far right, the zero – drop
version of the Road – Xtreme is now the lightest road shoe in the Inov-8 line,
with the Men’s weighing 4.9 oz and the women’s version at 4.2 oz. A great
addition for road runners and Crossfit enthusiasts, look for the Inov-8 Road –
Xtreme line in Spring 2013.

Hey one50, where did you get the preview? These look awesome. I currently run with the 155s and the trailroc 235s and can't decide on my next move. Should I go the Bare X 150 or 200s or is it worth the wait on the new extreme range? Are these the male or female colour range?
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Lachie
Hey Lachie! The images above are of the Female color range, but they also have some great colors for Men. I really like the Trailroc 235s for trail running, where this could be a great road option in the future. Here's a better look at the Mens Road Xtreme: http://youtu.be/1Jl8mrfDj9c
