Upper
Lightweight engineered mesh upper with a women-specific last option, featuring targeted optimizations for bunion relief and drop adjustments for female runners.
Midsole — Dual-Density XTEP ACE Foam
Utilizes a dual-layer supercritical foam setup for the ultimate combination of cushioning and propulsion. The upper layer is softer (38°) for bouncy energy return, while the lower layer is firmer (42°) for structural support and stability at marathon pace. A strategic midsole pressure-relief window disperses impact forces and smooths the heel-to-toe transition.
Carbon Plate — Aerospace-Grade GT700
Features a specially tuned full-length GT700 carbon plate that maximizes forefoot propulsion while providing excellent mid-to-rearfoot stability — a significant upgrade over the guided T700 plate found in the standard 160X 8.0.
Outsole — XTEP DURA CPU Rubber
Upgraded XTEP DURA outsole provides superior wet and dry grip with an exceptional durability lifespan of over 2,000 kilometers — among the best in the elite racing flat category.
