Under Armour HOVR Machina, the perfect ally for long distances.
More and more Running shoes are implementing carbon plates in their construction, but does this mean that all reactive shoes incorporate this technological revolution? With the presentation of the new Under Armour HOVR Machina the American firm comes to tell us that no, and is that in this model we will find the Pebax material; a lighter material than the traditional TPU that provides greater stability and reactivity in the takeoff.
A technology whose main objective is to provide lightness, control of the footprint and reactivity in the impulse. An application that, unlike what happens in other top-of-the-range Running shoes in cushioning, offers greater firmness in the landing phase, without sacrificing maximum comfort and propulsion. But let's make a brief digression and pay special attention to the technologies present in these new HOVR Machina from Under Armour:
UA HOVR Cushioning System
As it could not be otherwise, these Under Armour HOVR Machina incorporate the cushioning system star of the firm; the UA HOVR Cushioning System. Thanks to this technology, it favors a zero gravity sensation while running together with a superior energy return, the result? A more energetic, vibration-reduced stride that results in smoother transitions and a more efficient ride.
A model characterized by its excellent cushioning capacity, but at the same time surprisingly responsive. The UA HOVR Cushioning System guarantees good support, regardless of the number of kilometers to be completed and ensures a good firmness in each step.
Pebax® propulsion plate
In combination with the UA HOVR Cushioning System we find the Pebax® propulsion plate, a technological application that guarantees greater reactivity, propulsion and firmness in the race. A piece that ensures impeccable response in long distance races, along with maximum cushioning and comfort.
It is a lighter material than traditional TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) that allows greater control over the foot strike cycle. Unlike the current trend in highly cushioned shoes, the running sensations when landing on the heel will not be chewy, soft, but quite the opposite.
