Cascadia Elite is a trail racer built to sustain speed from vertical kilometers through ultras. A carbon-infused Pebax SpeedVault+ plate sits between layers of 100% PEBA DNA GOLD cushioning. Vibram Megagrip Elite supplies wet-or-dry traction, while the flexible MATRYX woven upper with Kevlar fibers secures the foot for race-day terrain. Brooks recommends going up half a size.
