Salomon XR Crossmax 2 - Spring 2013

After three strong years of trail performance, Salomon will be updating the XR Crossmax for 2013. The neutral XR Crossmax 2 offers trail junkies an updated outsole, toe box and midsole composition. A segmented EVA midsole increases flexibility for a quicker transition, while the OS Tendon technology gives runners stability and energy transfer. Overall outsole lug depths have been scaled down and Salomon utilizes duel-density Contragrip rubber. The XR Crossmax 2 offers a wider toe box then its predecessor and Salomon’s SensiFlex technology has been streamlined to reduce metatarsal irritation. This ideal training hybrid weighs 11.3 oz and has an 11 mm heel-to-toe drop (20mm-9mm). Look for the XR Crossmax in Spring 2013 for $140.

Salomon XT Wings 3

Just last month Salomon released the latest update to their XT Wings series. Salomon’s XT Wings 3 has three key updates that will significantly benefit trail runners. The new design of Salomon’s Contragrip outsole gives the XT Wings 3 enhanced traction on wet surfaces and increased durability. Salomon’s design team improved the geometry of the ACS chassis throughout the midsole. The ACS chassis still provides the stability benefits but offers more flexibility during transition. The upper of the XT Wings 3 is also less bulky and nearly seamless. Salomon uses a welted upper design, reducing weight while adding in protection with a rubber toe cap. Jeff from Salomon discusses the XT Wing 3 with RunningShoes. Below are spec differences between the XT Wings 2 and XT Wings 3:
