Hoka Cielo X1 2.0
Summary
The HOKA Cielo X1 2.0 was built for pure speed. This new generation features a more aggressive rocker, enhanced forefoot cushioning, and an engineered jacquard mesh upper with dynamic cutouts to reduce weight and improve ventilation. The dual-density PEBA midsole works together with a carbon fiber plate to deliver a springy, propulsive feel, while the sticky rubber outsole enhances traction at race pace. Stack height in the reference size stays under 40 mm, keeping the shoe compliant with road racing regulations — ready for PRs from 5K to marathon.
