From the open trails to the dense city streets, the Salomon XT-6 is an impressive feat. This iteration is constructed from an anti-debris closed mesh upper, while TPU film adds further repellency to the elements. Polishing up, EVA cushioned midsoles are anchored by geometrical lugged Contagrip rubber outsoles. Chosen by ultra-distance athletes to conquer the trails even under rough conditions, the XT-6 was first launched in 2013. Lightweight and streamlined, the textile upper is reinforced by durable TPU film. EVA cushioning enables shock absorbency and ensures a soft landing, while the downhill chassis system provides stability across terrains and the Contragrip Mud sole offers maximum grip on muddy and loose surfaces.
