Vaporfly 4

Racing2025-02-26 · JP · AnnouncedChecked 2026-10-09

Vaporfly 4 is a road racer for 5Ks through marathons. Compared with Vaporfly 3, it trims weight from the upper, foam and outsole, raises the carbon-fiber Flyplate angle and lowers the drop. Full-length ZoomX works with the plate, while engineered mesh and a smaller heel and tongue reduce upper bulk and improve fit consistency. A thinner blown-rubber outsole supplies road traction.
