Asics Trabuco Max 4 - "A Monster Truck For Your Feet"

Want to blast along the toughest trails like nothing can stop you?

Well, the new TRABUCO MAX™ 4 from Asics could be the one you’ve been waiting for—especially if you’re among the thousands of dedicated Asics fans we meet every year in our stores.

We’ve been especially excited about the TRABUCO MAX™ 4 after reading one reviewer describe it as being like "wearing a monster truck on your feet!" Another reviewer raved about the fit and feel, saying the shoe wrapped her feet like "a comfortable, stable hug."

So we have a monster that gives hugs—but this is no fairy tale. The TRABUCO MAX™ 4 is here now.

One of the things that makes trail running so much fun is varied terrain, but that comes with its own set of challenges. The Asics TRABUCO MAX™ 4 combines low weight with a high level of foot protection and the ultimate in shock absorption to give you an unstoppable ride—even on the gnarliest trails. You’ll enjoy the cushioning and energy return you need without the unsettling bounciness and instability that affect some high-stack trail shoes.

Asics has always been at the forefront of running technology, and the TRABUCO MAX™ 4 is no exception.

FF BLAST™ ECO PLUS cushioning is designed to absorb impact and redirect the energy from your foot strike into forward motion. Despite its excellent damping properties, the cushioning is very lightweight, helping to create a lively and dynamic feel that lets you run further for longer—because there’s a lot of trail out there to enjoy.

GUIDESOLE™ technology promotes a smoother, easier, and more natural forward foot roll. You’ll feel less strain on your feet and legs and use less energy.

Trail runners need grip for variable surfaces, which can often be slippery with mud or rain. ASICSGRIP™ technology delivers high traction without the durability trade-off that many super-grippy shoes require.

On muddy trails and steep cross-slope traverses, where you’re pressing more on the edges of the soles to maintain your line, multidirectional outsole lugs improve bite and traction.

The Asics TRABUCO MAX™ 4 is designed for runners with neutral pronation.

If you’re not familiar with the term, pronation refers to how your foot naturally rolls inward to absorb the shock of each foot strike. Understanding your pronation type can help you find the most comfortable running shoe.

Some runners pronate more than others, and we stock other shoes at Outside Sports that may suit them better. Conversely, some people have supination (an outward rolling of the foot), which puts more pressure on the outside of their feet. If that sounds like you, we can help you find the perfect shoes at our stores in Te Anau, Queenstown, Arrowtown, Wanaka, and Tekapo.
