Inov-8 X-talon 190

[scott baistow 93]

Saw these for the first time yesterday at the Sedbeergh 3ps a pair which morgan donnelly testing (prototypes) jebby also has a pair, they were in lime green and bright orange which looked awesome, Morgan went on to break the course record yesterday which had stood for 3 years not bad for a shoe which hasnt officially been launched. The shoes have a very similar upper to the f-lite shoes but a bit more built up have a one arrow cushioning for a minimilistic feel and finisshed with a sticky rubber X-talon sole, real racing shoes

Well spotted Scott though I guess they ain't difficult to spot.
You may see some different combos being tested until we finally launch.
I don't know if we can claim that the record was broken just because Morgan was wearing the 190's though it is worth noting that carrying 100g extra on your foot uses the same amount of energy as carrying 500g on your back.
So Morgan most probably had an advantage

When are you looking to launch them, and are they going to be more expensive than the 212's?

They should be in stores July/Aug.
Similar price to the 212 or thereabouts.

Morgan Donnelly broke the record at Llangynhafal Loop yesterday wearing the X-Talon 190

Is there something wrong with my eyes, or has the lad got one green shoe and one red?

They are " test" shoes one orange one green.

Great test for colour blindness!

No, all my Walshes are paid for

I tested my new PB Racers yesterday and when my feet got wet the shoes started foaming! It looked like I had rabies in my feet
