Sporting a revamped upper and clean design lines, the Switchback 2 provides low-profile support that looks as good on the street as it does on the singletrack.

At the midsole, full-length Techlite provides plenty of cushioning and lightweight flex over uneven terrain.

Breathable mesh and a soft material in the flex zones mean superior comfort with great agility and ease of movement. The gusseted tongue keeps out rocks, sticks, and dirt while light, sinewy overlays offer additional protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
