Whether you're chasing race-day PRs or covering long miles on rugged routes, the MTN Racer 4 blends lightweight performance with the protection you need to stay confident and fast on challenging trails.
This latest version delivers a fine-tuned fit and feel, featuring a breathable performance mesh upper engineered for security and comfort over uneven ground. Underfoot, a 33mm x 28mm stack height platform provides a protective, cushioned ride without sacrificing ground feel or responsiveness. The FKT Insole enhances rebound and water drainage, while the Vibram® Megagrip outsole offers unmatched traction and durability over wet, dry, and rocky terrain.
