    Lucie Rathbun's review

    Can’t get enough of the RX, and now it’s ready for a desert rager. Fast, poppy, and smooth but still stable and grippy. Javelina might barely qualify as a trail race on dry years, but rain’s in the cards this year…so I’ll be glad to have the traction!

    Maybe the prettiest Speedland shoes to date? Idk. The RX hybrid line is absolutely perfect for my trails. Mixture of gravel, single track, and some pavement and these take it all in perfect stride.
