Speed Trainer2024-08-28 · JP · Release dateChecked 2026-10-26

Specter 2 is a high-cushion trainer for tempo runs and racing. It replaces the original model's Pebax insert and EVA frame with a full-length Pebax Powered midsole, keeping the ride light while adding snap, energy return, and propulsion. Extra cushioning supports comfort as pace and mileage rise, while the revised rubber outsole improves durability and traction. A breathable upper and roomy toe box complete the fit.
