Salomon Alphacross 5

Salomon is back with the release of some of its most iconic and traditional trail running models. If you love mud and adore the complete Cross range of the French company, we are sure that the new Salomon Alphacross 5 will not leave you indifferent.

The Salomon Alphacross 5 is a trail running shoe that will encompass a dynamic yet technical model that will provide an efficient alternative for all those complicated outings on technical and even muddy terrain at a very affordable price. As inspired by its "cross surname", this is a perfect model for all those greasy surfaces.

Main features of the new Salomon Alphacross 5

These Alphacross 5 are the fifth model in the line, one of the most famous and best value for money trail running models from Salomon. With an unchanging philosophy, it is a model that will provide more cushioning and reactivity thanks to its Fuze midsole foam, a compound that offers smoother and more fluid transitions.

It is a model very similar to, for example, the Salomon Thundercross, which maintains a large drop of 11 millimeters and is located in a weight below 300 grams, with nothing more and nothing less than 265 grams of weight, a figure more than optimal for its niche market.

Ideal runner of the Salomon Alphacross 5

Knowing all these details and characteristics of the new Salomon training model, we can be sure that it will be a model oriented to runners of average weight. Of course, profiles of runners over 80 kilos will be able to use them efficiently, but the aggressiveness and technicality of its structure will make them fit better with middle-weight runners used to technical and/or muddy terrains.

In short, we are talking about a model for men and women very complete, but a little boxed as far as terrain and distances are concerned. Although it has features that will allow you to enjoy them for miles, its ideal target distance will be short distances of no more than 30 or 42 kilometers.

Salomon Alphacross 5 Technical Specifications

Some of the most significant technical details of these Salomon Alphacross 5 can be found in their midsole. With the aforementioned Fuze foam, together with some of the best materials and technologies of the company, this is a model of great performance, which combines aggressiveness and comfort for the most complex terrain.

The aggressive Contagrip outsole will maintain the identity of Salomons Cross models, with a prominent and multidirectional tread pattern up to 65 millimeters thick. In addition, its 11-millimeter drop, reduced weight of 265 grams, TPU reinforcements throughout the shoe or its lacing, will complete a new model that stands as one of the great silhouettes as far as value for money is concerned.
