VECTIV Infinite II
VECTIV Infinite II balances cushioning and stability for long days and ultra-distance mountain trails. Versus the original, it adds 10 mm of toe spring, 1 mm of cushioning and 1 mm of lug depth, with an updated D-width last. A premium-EVA midsole, 6 mm high-rebound Pebax forefoot insert and forked VECTIV 2.0 rocker shape the ride. Surface CTRL rubber with 5 mm lugs targets wet, muddy and highly technical soft ground.
