PositiveRan in the SC Rebel for the first time and felt it delivered about 90 percent of the SC Elite v6 performance with a slightly more stable platform, calling it definitely fast.

MixedTwo runs (11 and 9 mi): rolling, fun ride that encourages pace and is stable once laced right, but the plate shows when form fades and the fit is snug.

PositiveMore nimble, faster and more fun than the SC Trainer it replaces: it feels terrific at any pace and hums at marathon pace, and one tester questions his race-shoe choice. Grip was fine on slippery stone, but it's tippy on loose gravel. Testers agree the upper won't suit broad or high-volume feet.
