Expert reviews 1
A moderate weight at around 900 g each, with a highback that twists enough not to bite your calf while being fairly stiff when you lean straight back into it. Reviewers say the 2022 model improved the response and greatly improved the straps. The adjustment range is effectively nil, though — no gas pedal, heel loop or heel plate adjustment, and no highback rotation. There's still an arch pressure problem when paired with soft-soled boots.
