As a loyal follower of RUNNEA you will know that New Balance is one of the favorite brands of our RUNNEA TEAM RunTester team. In addition to their high performance, they also have refined designs that fit your sporty style. Now, New Balance surprises again with a new evolution: the FuelCell ACL foam, synonymous with speed to achieve greater energy return. Smoother, smoother, more fluid and explosive transitions.
There is no change in concept, but it is true that New Balance Balance's technological innovation is present in all its latest launches and updates of Running shoes aimed at running fast with better running efficiency, and increasing performance. Thus, Boston's signature FuelCell foam reaches a new level, because it is able to provide the highest energy return of any New Balance Balance performance foam to date.
What is New Balances evolved FuelCell ACL foam?
On a technical level, this innovative foam is a combination of EVA and TPU materials with other types of foams to form a premium material, which offers a very light density with high energy return, and which has a soft behavior and can be adapted to other types of materials such as carbon plate.
On a practical level, you will notice the evolution of this FuelCell ACL technology in that the geometry of the midsole is now higher, favoring a greater displacement. A section that New Balance product developers have been in charge of refining in their laboratories, and that, on the other hand, New Balance Team athletes have been in charge of testing on the asphalt.
The exclusivity of this FuelCell ACL foam is only present, so far, in the following models of New Balance models, which we will talk about below:
- New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2: Quality training, series and competition. No carbon plate.
- New Balance FuelCell RC Elite v2: Maximize the athlete's efforts in long distance races. The competition shoe to run a marathon, and that elite athletes have among their preferences. Incorporates carbon plate.
- New Balance FuelCell TC: Silhouette with great energy return for training and competition. Includes carbon plate.
- New Balance FuelCell Lerato: Maximum cushioning training shoe with carbon fiber plate.
New Balance flying shoes with FuelCell ACL for every type of runner.
To the said all these New Balance shoes have as common denominator the insertion of the evolved FuelCell ACL foam, and that maximum to improve the responsiveness of the model.
New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2
With the experience of its original version, the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 is updated with that new midsole profile that includes the evolved FuelCell ACL foam, which translates into greater rebound and greater lightness, and what ends up becoming a greater energy return in each stride. Lighter single-layer upper for better fit and breathability, as well as an outsole that promotes smoother, more energetic transitions. With the new New Balance FuelCell Rebel v2 you'll not only run faster, but you'll be able to run longer.

In fact, this model is your best racing option for running a marathon and breaking personal bests. To its credit, this second version of the FuelCell RC Elite has more cushioning and more energy return. Here, the full-length carbon plate works in unison with the FuelCell ACL foam to ensure a more responsive shoe for every kilometer run in long-distance events like a 42k. Thus, one of the keys of these New Balance FuelCell RC Elite v2 is found in themore aggressive carbon plate curvature and seated in a thicker midsole (5mm.) to achieve 9 more cushioning and 4% more energy return.

A model conceived as an interesting mixed shoe option for both training and racing, and always moving at high paces, and which is designed for midfoot running with more dynamic support. That is, the New Balance FuelCell TC is a silhouette ready to face a lot of kilometers with a formidable energy return. In this case, the FuelCell ACL foam has a soft and energetic behavior. While durability comes from the solid and flexible outsole. Aimed at a light runner profile with a more efficient stride. Come on, with a refined running technique because the more speed, the better the response of that carbon plate.
