help Brooks Catamount 2 FAQ
Is the plate in the Brooks Catamount 2 a conventional rock plate?
Brooks calls it the SkyVault propulsion plate because it provides protection while also stiffening the forefoot for climbing and faster turnover. It is more performance-oriented than a simple flexible rock shield.
What kind of cushioning does the Catamount 2 use?
The shoe uses Brooks DNA FLASH, a nitrogen-infused midsole foam designed for low weight and responsiveness. That gives it a firmer, faster character than the more cushioned Brooks Caldera.
Is the Catamount 2 intended for trail racing?
Yes, Brooks positioned it as a lightweight trail shoe for running quickly over varied terrain. The SkyVault plate and TrailTack outsole make it suitable for races, climbs, and technical training rather than casual road mileage.
How does the Catamount 2 differ from the original Catamount?
The second version adds the SkyVault propulsion plate and a more protective trail construction. The original Catamount focused more heavily on being a light, responsive DNA FLASH trail racer without that plate.
