Hoka Women's Carbon X2 (HCBI)

Positioned as an endurance racer, the Carbon X 2 delivers the same propulsive speed as its predecessor in an adaptable silhouette geared for training and racing alike. Engineered with a responsive, carbon fibre plate and aggressive Meta-Rocker, this performance shoe is a formidable competitor. The epitome of long-range weaponry, the Carbon X 2 pairs softer, lighter foam with the same rubberised foam outsole as the last iteration. Scrutinised with a focus on fit, the Carbon X 2 employs a refined collar shape, notched tongue and engineered mesh upper with embroidered TPU yarns and extra reinforcement around the laces. Get ready for an inherently soft, stable and responsive ride.

FAQ’s & Reviews

How long will the shoe last?

On average Hoka claim their cushioning will last approx. 400 miles. The life of the shoe varies from user to user. 

How does the Carbon X2 differ from the previous versions?

The Carbon X2 seems to fit a bit wider in comparison to the Carbon X. 

Is this shoe just for racing? 

No, it's not! Surprisingly the Carbon X2 is a very stable shoe with quite a bit more structure to the upper making it suited for racing and everyday training. 

What distances can I race with the shoe?

Most likely any, however if someone is really concerned about weight the shoe is a bit on the heavy side and something such as the Saucony Endorphin Pro may be more suited.
