The original Summit VECTIV Sky is a speed-focused trail racer for middle-distance and vertical races, with a lower-profile sole that prioritizes ground feel. Its forked VECTIV 2.0 carbon plate pairs with a rockered EVA midsole and a forefoot Pebax insert. Protective, breathable mesh and a sock-fit tongue support the fit, while SurfaceCTRL rubber handles mountain trails.
