They’re similar shoes... ultimately I think I prefer the Turbo 2, but you can’t really go wrong. The Tempo is a little firmer and more rigid, and the Turbo has that signature “trampoline” effect of the ZoomX (squishy, but also propulsive). The uppers are both very good - very thin, very comfortable. The heel collar on the Tempo is perhaps slightly nicer. I found the Tempo to run very slightly narrow, though.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297325506624687004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-65599969006715861042020-03-15T04:56:29.619-06:002020-03-15T04:56:29.619-06:00How do you compare Hyperion Tempo and Pegasus Turb...How do you compare Hyperion Tempo and Pegasus Turbo 2?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-16716436530667063552020-03-10T15:32:29.638-06:002020-03-10T15:32:29.638-06:00So despite weight savings, the engineering isn'...So despite weight savings, the engineering isn't quite at the race ready as Adios 5? Hopefully this helps readers/reviewers: I have RC1400V6 & Adios4 At 1oz heavier the Adios is more efficient as a result faster. The slight late heel strike I have directs me forward in Adios 4 while in the lateral heel bias of the 1400 it puts too much waste supinating. <br />I believe this analogy is key to the VF, Next% as they are very curved to promote pronation which then creates propulsion forward...just my thoughts and since old VF or Next % never have sales I was looking at ahyperion tempo. <br />In the end this Hyperion Tempo is an upgraded launch 6? Definitely not a bad thing but I believe for HM and under Adios and maybe asics TartherEdge (sleeper?) Does it for inexpensive racers.Vaadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-31037342872192293502020-03-07T15:59:24.114-07:002020-03-07T15:59:24.114-07:00For me the shoe is pretty average.

Definitely its overpriced, if Brooks priced it at $110 it will be better but you can't do an average $150 shoe in 2020. Cmon.

For about the same money and a bit heavier the Saucony Endorphin Speed is more fun, a bit softer and easier on the legs. Also as with Tempo somewhere between trainer and racer in feel. Depends on preferences though.

The Tempo if for sure easier to toe off but has a longer flex than the Boston which has that forward flex point that I like in a faster shoe if it isn't heavily rockered or plated.<br /><br />Thanks Anonymous,<br />The Sonic 3 Balance is clearly for me and should be for most a better choice for a marathon training all around shoe. More vibration attenuation, somewhat more cushion, more stable but still a fast responsive ride. If you want something in between the two look at the new adidas SL20 initial review linked below<br />Sam, Editor <br />Thanks for reading Road Trail Run!
