Inov-8 TerraUltra G270 M

Inov-8 Terraultra G270 KEY FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS VS TERRAULTRA G 260

Outsole:
Improved use of Graphene-Grip rubber, with cleats repositioned in key areas and flex grooves fine-tuned for agile sticky traction that lasts longer.

Graphene is the world’s strongest material. We are the first – and only – brand to use it in sports shoes thanks to a partnership with Graphene experts at The University of Manchester. It delivers the world’s toughest grip – insane sticky traction AND increased durability, no compromise.

4mm deep cleats all now armed with water dispersion channels and rubber dimples to give even better grip on hard wet trails.

Midsole & Insole:
New POWERFLOW MAX foam delivers improved plush cushioning that retains its thickness and optimum level of performance for twice as long. A 3mm increase in stack height (from 9mm to 12mm) further enhances underfoot comfort.

The new foam gives 20% more energy return than its predecessor for a snappier, bouncy feel with every stride – perfect for tired legs deep into an ultramarathon.

The new foam uses a blend of elements, with a higher percentage of TPU (Thermo PolyUrethane) than the TERRAULTRA G 260 for increased energy return. Greater anti-abrasion properties help maintain the thickness and optimum performance for longer.

Unique BOOMERANG insole features hundreds of expanded TPU beads that compress and then spring back for 40% more energy return – and greater cushioning – than previous insoles. Tested to retain its thickness and optimum performance level for longer.

Upper:
New ADAPTERFIT technology allows the fit of the upper to adjust to natural movements and swelling of the foot when running long distances. Redesigned lightweight tongue and wide toe-box further aid comfort.

Stronger upper materials retain a soft feel but give more protection and durability, especially around the edge of the forefoot, plus a smoother feel on the inner.
