All say a super pleasant and fast shoe. Please watch to see each tester's take and all the details.

Hi thanks for a great video.
I was thinking about buying these on release - do you all think the criticisms of the Elite have been ironed out in the Elite 2?
I currently run Ghost 12 and Hyperion Tempo so this would be my first carbon plate shoe.
Many thanks
Hi Anonymous,
Same upper much more forgiving ride so while some liked v1 including our fastest tester Michael many weren't wowed. The DNA Flash midsole makes a significant difference as does the new geometry of the midsole.
Sam, Editor
Thanks so much for the reply Sam, best wishes
Roger
