Zinal 2

Trail2023-06-02 · US · AnnouncedChecked 2026-10-06

Zinal 2 is a lightweight trail model built for short races and faster efforts where ground feel and precise footwork matter. Compared with the original, HOKA lowers the stack while reducing weight, adds a more responsive EVA midsole, and uses taller lugs. Vibram Megagrip with Litebase and Traction Lug supplies technical-terrain grip, while a stretch-knit collar blocks debris and a heel pull tab eases entry.
