This is the men's Inov-8 Roclite G 275v2 trail running shoe, which is boosted by Graphene and features a new more comfortable cushioned midsole, rock plate and secure upper to hold you in when running tracks and trails. The Roclite G 275v2 was designed to versatile enough to tackle a mixture of terrains, ideal for UK conditions where the weather is rarely reliable! Most off-road tracks feature harder packed areas and patches of looser mud, which the Graphene enhanced outsole is perfect for.The outsole lug depth of 6mm means the Roclite G 275v2 is more aggressive than a road to trail shoe.For very deep mud though, consider an Inov-8 fell running shoe instead.

The Graphene in the outsole of the Roclite G 275v2 helps to ensure durability even on hard terrain, where other studs can wear out. In fact when tested, Graphene has been proven to make trail running shoe outsoles around 50% harder-wearing.

The midsole change to POWERFLOW MAX was made to increase comfort and cushioning, yet provide plenty of energy return and when combined with a BOOMERANGE foot bed and flexible rock plate, this Roclite won't leave you feeling bogged down.

This trail running shoe remains nice and lightweight, has an improved upper and features a drop of 8mm from heel to forefoot.

Inov-8 describe the men's Roclite G 275v2 as: A supremely versatile trail running shoe for both hard and soft terrains. Designed to handle everything from dusty tracks to muddy bogs, the ROCLITE G 275 V2 is a versatile must-have for every trail shoe arsenal.The versatility stems from its grip-hungry 6mm long rubber lugs that not only dig into soft ground but also hold firm on hard terrain. These sticky lugs are infused with Graphene – the world’s strongest material – making them 50% harder-wearing.

Upgrades to the version 2 (v2) can be found in the midsole and upper. The midsole now features our POWERFLOW MAX foam for greater comfort, cushioning and energy return. Below the foam sits a flexible rock plate for underfoot protection, while above it sits our super-soft, mega-bouncy BOOMERANG footbed.The upper has been redesigned to give a better locked-in fit. This is thanks to the new wraparound ADAPTER-FIT cradle system that connects the midfoot to the heel. Operated from the laces, when these are tightened, the cradle tightens too, pulling everything together for a secure fit that also adjusts to the natural movements of the foot. A new tongue further enhances the improved fit and comfort.

The mesh material that covers much of the upper is 25% stronger than before and made of a tighter – yet still highly-breathable – weave that gives greater durability and repels more grit.

The average weight of the shoe across the size curve remains 275g. The drop is still 8mm, with the floor-to-foot stack height measurements being 26mm in the heel and 18mm in the forefoot.
