    SCOTT KINABALU ULTRA RC 2.0

    £140 The Kinabalu Ultras tip the scales at a lean 270g (for trail shoes) and, for a shoe with an ‘ultra’ tag, they instantly feel nimble. The responsiveness is due to a combo of Scott’s Kinetic midsole foam and an aggressive outsole traction. The rock plate in the midsole heightens the versatility, yet they lack meaningful toe protection for jagged fell runs. And ultra comfort? The high heel collar that is a potential area for rubbing, yet the breathable upper and lightly padded tongue aid the comfort stakes. Overall, then, a do-it-all shoe that’ll adapt to racing, short and long training sets. Pricey, though. scott-sports.com
