MTL SpeedARC Peak

TrailReleased 2026-07-15Global

MTL SpeedARC Peak is an elite technical-trail racer shaped through five years, 154 prototypes and about 13,000 test miles. Its three-layer SpeedARC system places a forked Carbon FlexPlate between PEBA racing foam and a durable FloatPro base so the forefoot can adapt to uneven ground. An abrasion-resistant Matryx upper and Vibram Megagrip Elite outsole support speed, control and traction over long race miles.
