This iteration bridges the gap to the top-tier of competition, featuring the same premium Aliphatic TPU (ATPU) foam found in the aggressive Fast-R series, but tuned for a more stable and accessible ride. A staggering 12% lighter than its predecessor, the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 combines an upgraded NITROFOAM™ ELITE midsole with a re-engineered PWRPLATE to channel maximum energy forward. Unlike other aggressive racers that can feel unstable, the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 offers a natural feel that caters to a wider range of runners, particularly midfoot and heel strikers. It’s light, stable, and locked on your goal pace.
- 12% significantly lighter than the Elite 3, reducing leg fatigue over the full marathon distance
- Superior Foot Strike Versatility: Optimized geometry provides a more stable experience for midfoot and heel strikers compared to other hyper-aggressive racers.
- Approachable Performance: A fast, nimble shoe that remains stable and balanced enough for runners new to carbon plates or racing in general.
