ADIZERO RC 6
ADIZERO RC 6 is the only thin-soled road trainer in the Adizero line, built for track races and road sessions. A 26% reduction from its predecessor gives the LIGHTSTRIKE platform a lighter, close-to-ground feel without losing the line's responsive character. Breathable single-layer mesh keeps the upper pared back, while ADIWEAR rubber reinforces high-impact zones for short intervals and speed workouts.
