Maximize your energy: Gara Carbon.
Use your energy where it matters most—breaking records, hitting top speeds, and redefining your limits. Gara Carbon 2 is the ultimate race-day tool, combining unparalleled responsiveness, stability, and comfort.
At the core of Gara Carbon’s performance lies the most efficient carbon plate on the market. Designed for extreme geometry, it peaks at the heel, dips low at the forefoot, and rises again for a powerful toe-off. Embedded in the midsole, a full-length carbon fiber plate in thermoset resin enhances rigidity, ensuring no energy is wasted as it propels you forward.
