The Science of Speed

Our team spent over three years developing the Eliot Racer. Testing, engineering, listening to runners, iterating, then testing again. The cycle would continue while we pushed for the best of the best, and when we thought we’d gotten there, we still opted for one final test before launch.

We worked with Heeluxe, an industry-leading third-party performance testing lab, to put our final prototype up against just about everything in the running supershoe category. The Eliot Racer outperformed every single one in their extensive database in responsiveness, energy return and resiliency. 

The lab confirmed what weartesters were feeling on the roads. The design and construction of the Eliot Racer — the premium cushioning, sculpted carbon plate, our supercritical foam drop-in midsole, the rocker geometry, and unique unbound construction — is engineered so almost every bit of effort you put in, you get returned. The Racer delivers an optimal cushioning to responsiveness ratio that should have you faster and fresher all the way to the finish. 

Race Day Reviews

Races, as we know, are not run in testing labs. Good thing the Eliot Racer has been toeing starting lines and smashing speed sessions all Spring. Professional athletes like Steph Bruce, Centro (Matthew Centrowitz to some), and Sam Parsons have been stacking the miles and singing the Eliot Racer’s praises. We’ve had so much positive feedback, from first-corralers and age-groupers who have run to personal bests and podium spots. Hear from runners that are already in the Racers.
