HOKA'sThe 'Mach 6' Provides a Breezier Acceleration Feeling Thanks to Its Enhanced Resilience

HOKA's popular speed model, 'Mach'. It's a series favored mainly by runners who seek speed in their training and races. The 'Mach', known for its natural rebound unique to models without plates, has been said to enhance its rebound and propulsion by adopting a new foam material in its midsole. So, how has 'Mach 6' been updated from its predecessor?
 
Developed for runners who want to run faster, 'Mach' is a series that excellently balances cushioning, resilience, and lightness. Its light ride feel and design that easily produces speed have been endorsed by advanced runners.
 
Last summer, in response to HOKA's athletes' desire to improve the quality of their training, the 'Mach X', which combines the Mach's softness, explosiveness, and a propulsive Pebax® plate, made headlines. The current 'Mach 6' is a pure successor to 'Mach 5' and does not come with a plate.

Adopts New Material: Super Critical Foam

"The most significant update is a change in the foam material of the midsole," says Masanao Ando, Assistant Manager and Field Experience Rep at HOKA.
