PositiveLike driving a sports car: some grip and a whole lot of rip. On smoother terrain, gravel roads or pavement-to-light-trail it will bring a smile to your face, and best in class when fast on smooth ground. Push it too far and that smile flips fast; it lacks the terrain range of rivals like the Summit Vectiv Pro 2.
Blog · Doctors of Running – Matt Klein · summarized
PositiveA super-stack, carbon-plated racer for those wanting a firmer, stiffer, aggressive and fast ride, with a secure fit and road-to-trail versatility. The heel and midfoot are unstable for its height, it's a bit too firm and stiff, the toe guard is abrasive and the lace lining poky, so socks are a must.

NegativeThey ran about 100 km in the Metafuji Trail before selling it. It was fast but lacked ground feel and felt too snappy and unstable for their trails, and they preferred a softer ride.
