The Mach X 2 is Hoka's plated super trainer, striking a balance between the cushioned comfort of the Bondi and the propulsive feel of a race-day shoe. A winged Pebax plate (rather than carbon) keeps the ride bouncy and forgiving through a wide range of paces, without the harshness some carbon-plated trainers bring to easy days.
A thin, airy woven upper is the most breathable in the Mach X line to date, and the shoe's generous stack delivers a genuinely plush ride for a plated trainer.
Best for runners who want one shoe that can comfortably handle everything from easy miles to tempo efforts and workouts.
