Details
Use your energy where it matters most—breaking records, hitting top speeds, and redefining your limits. Gara Carbon 2 is the ultimate race-day tool, combining unparalleled responsiveness, stability, and comfort.
At the core of Gara Carbon’s performance lies the most efficient carbon plate on the market. Designed for extreme geometry, it peaks at the heel, dips low at the forefoot, and rises again for a powerful toe-off. Embedded in the midsole, a full-length carbon fiber plate in thermoset resin enhances rigidity, ensuring no energy is wasted as it propels you forward.
Engineered with ANIMA PBX, this compound elevates midsole rebound by an impressive 55% while cutting weight by 40% compared to EVA Light. Weighing just 8.2 ounces (230 grams), Gara Carbon delivers unmatched propulsion with an 80% total energy return, verified through rigorous lab testing. Its Matrix Mesh upper, reinforced with carbon fibers, adds lightweight support for peak performance.
