What kind of runners do I recommend the Hoka Rocket X2

The rocket x2 is definitely not a shoe designed for everyone and for everyday outings.
A lightweight, minimalist shoe with little support, primarily suited to race day or specific, intense workouts.
I would recommend it to people weighing under 75kg and for paces under 3:50 per km.

New updates:

Rocket X 2 was created for long distance running and is characterized by the increase in the height of the sole and unique details. This new shoe is the result of years of research and development by HOKA, aimed at creating a premium running product.

 

In this model the technology of the plates, the geometry and the foam are combined reaching a level never reached before. Innovations include a dual-density PEBA foam midsole and carbon fiber plate with a curved MetaRocker™ integrated into the outsole that supports foot contact and increases momentum.

The new geometry of the powerful carbon fiber plate, positioned between two layers of an all-new ultra-responsive PEBA foam, provides greater cushioning than that of the foams used in previous tested HOKA models and guarantees a user experience fast, efficient and propulsive.

 

Rocket X 2 also features a ProFlyX™ midsole featuring a lightweight, responsive foam base and super-soft foam top to deliver an energetic, stable ride with groundbreaking technology. Additionally, rubber elements have been added to the outsole in high traction areas to ensure durability and reduce the overall weight of the shoe.
