Brooks Hyperion Elite 6

Beginner

Not recommended for beginners. The Hyperion Elite 6 is Brooks' flagship carbon-plate racer featuring DNA Flash v2 supercritical nitrogen foam with a full-length SpeedVault Race carbon fiber plate. The 32mm/40mm (8mm drop) race platform delivers efficient rebound and propulsion at speed. DNA Flash v2 is softer and more responsive than previous versions, but the carbon plate lacks stability at easy paces. Requires 1+ year of running experience.
