HOKA Zinal 2

One of the best-selling HOKA models last year comes with new features for this 2023. We are talking about the HOKA Zinal 2, a model that combines the best technologies and materials of the brand and maintains its firmness in this second edition standing as one of the most powerful shoes in the mountain market.

And is that these HOKA Zinal 2 are trail running shoes designed for the most avid trail runners. It is a model that reinvents itself and becomes a little more radical to bet on speed and dynamism in technical and compact terrain for short but intense distances.

What are the expectations of the new HOKA Zinal 2?

The Zinal 2 are HOKA trail running shoes designed to bring dynamism, speed and agility to any self-respecting trail runner. We are talking about a second improved version, in which we will find more prominent lugs, up to 5 millimeters, within a somewhat lower profiles, about 30 millimeters in the heel and 25 in the toe.

Undoubtedly, an improvement that is enhanced thanks to elements that we could already find in the first HOKA Zinal, such as its Vibram Megagrip Litebase compound outsole. A compound that provides the perfect safety and durability to be able to squeeze them to the maximum even in the most demanding competitions.

For its part, this trail running model for competition and demanding training also stands out for its change in the upper, which will bring more lightness to the whole, flexibility and breathability, but will reduce its support. A mesh of great minimalism with a set of only 227 grams of weight, and a drop of 5 millimeters.

Ideal runner of the HOKA Zinal 2

The HOKA Zinal 2 is a trail shoe for men and women that is aimed at runners of medium-low weight and limited to short-distance races and competitions, optimal to exploit their performance to the maximum. In conclusion, a model that will fit best with weight profiles below 85 kilos and for runners with great running technique.

A high-pace model for, above all, flat and compact terrain, but that will work perfectly on more technical surfaces. A very dynamic model with which to face all kinds of situations. Overall, a leap forward towards the speed and dynamism of pure competition that HOKA was missing in its catalog.
