Kinabalu 2 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Ortholite foam is a specialized cushioning material used in the footbed of the SCOTT Kinabalu 2. It offers exceptional comfort, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, making it ideal for long runs. This foam helps reduce foot fatigue by providing support and cushioning, ensuring that your feet stay comfortable even during extended periods of activity.

eRIDE technology in the SCOTT Kinabalu 2 is designed to optimize your running efficiency. It combines cushioning with responsiveness, allowing you to maintain speed while reducing fatigue. This means you can tackle challenging trails with better energy management, helping you run longer and faster without feeling worn out.

Kinetic Foam is engineered to be lightweight and responsive, providing excellent impact absorption and energy return. This means that with each step, you’ll feel more agile and quick, allowing for a more dynamic running experience. It helps you stay light on your feet, which is especially beneficial during trail runs where agility is key.

The rocker design of the SCOTT Kinabalu 2 facilitates a smooth transition from heel to toe as you run. This shape helps to improve your running efficiency by reducing the strain on your legs and allowing for a more natural stride. It can make it easier to maintain your pace over longer distances, enhancing your overall running experience.

The 8mm drop in the SCOTT Kinabalu 2 indicates that the heel is 8mm higher than the forefoot. This design can provide additional cushioning for heel strikers and may help improve posture during your run. While a higher drop can offer more support, it’s important to choose a drop that aligns with your running style and comfort preferences.

Absolutely! The SCOTT Kinabalu 2 is designed with features like eRIDE technology and a rocker sole that make it beginner-friendly for trail running. The cushioning and support provided by Ortholite and Kinetic Foam will help you feel more comfortable as you adapt to the uneven terrain, making your transition to trail running smoother and more enjoyable.
