Description
The Cielo X1 2.0 is Hoka racing flagship, redesigned to be lighter and less aggressive than v1. Full PEBA foam midsole with flexible carbon fiber plate for maximum propulsion. 42mm heel / 35mm forefoot stack (7mm drop), weight 226g (US 9 unisex). Sticky rubber outsole for race-day grip. Redesigned ultra-light mesh upper, more aggressive fit than v1. Forefoot-strike friendly: the entire geometry favors midfoot/forefoot strikers, less suited for heel strikers who will find instability. Built as pure racing shoe for elite marathon: maximum bounce but demands clean form and high cadence. For top-tier hybrid athletes with sub-3:00 marathon PR: no-compromise option. For most age-groupers better the Rocket X3 (more stable, more approachable).

Smashed my PB
Feather weight with loads of energy: they make the difference on fast efforts. Snug, race-ready fit. Takes a couple of runs to break in.

They fly on race day
Took them to a marathon: in the last 10 km, when the legs go, the plate keeps pushing. Decisive.

Insane propulsion
Lively foam and a propulsive plate: at race pace it feels like floating. I keep them for races only.

My race-day weapon
Perfect for race day: huge energy return and a smooth toe-off transition. 10K PB on the first try.
