Ultra Responsive & Propulsive
The carbon fiber plate and Pebax® foam work together to return energy fast and extend the propulsive phase — more force forward, less effort per stride.

Lightweight & Breathable
At 8.1oz, the Hyperweave upper keeps the shoe light and airflow consistent — so heat and weight don't factor in over distance.

Cushion Built for Distance
39.5mm of Pebax® foam absorbs impact without losing responsiveness — protective on the early miles, reliable on the late ones.

Secure Fit. No Distractions
Locking laces, a gusseted tongue, and lockdown paneling keep the foot in place — nothing shifts, nothing loosens.

Reviews Summary
Customers say these running shoes are lightweight, responsive, and comfortable for both racing and training. Many praise the carbon plate technology for providing excellent bounce-back and forward propulsion, with a wider toe box than competing brands. The cushioning is firm yet forgiving, and users report the shoes perform well across various distances. Some mention sizing runs small and recommend going a half size up. A few note the toe box feels tight initially or the midsole is on the firmer side. Overall, runners appreciate the stability, breathable upper, and versatile performance for speed workouts and long runs.

    Left a popular brands for TYR

    For years, I ran with Brooks (Too Heavy). Bcz I'm a NYC runner, New Balance is the "Preferred" brand for Marathon. I didn't care for the Drop on either shoe. Then I discovered Saucony. I really l Iiked the brand, I am I "Clydesdale" runner. (+220lbs) bcz of that, I was wearing the sneakers down fast.

    Then at a CrossFit competition, TYR was at the games. (Owned Metcons).

    Long story short, 2 years later Still have my CXT-2 in great condition.

    Ran 3 marathon and trained the same Valkyrie elite almost 500 miles later. SUPER LIGHT, soft and stacked on the heels with spring when I run. I need them in more colors like red or pink.
