SALOMON - S/LAB PULSAR 4

Salomon S/LAB PULSAR 4 – High-Performance Trail Running Shoe

The S/LAB PULSAR 4 is designed for runners who demand speed, precision and responsiveness on technical trails. With a lightweight build, dual-density cushioning and advanced outsole traction, it excels in fast trail runs, technical terrain, and race-style outings.

Key Features

• Dual-Foam Midsole (Energy Foam + Energy Foam+): Provides a blend of cushioning and energetic rebound, offering responsive landings and explosive push-offs for a dynamic ride.
• Lightweight & Foot-Hugging Upper: Constructed using Matryx® mesh — breathable, durable and durable enough for rough terrain — giving a snug, second-skin fit that keeps your foot secure.
• Advanced Grip Outsole: The Contagrip® outsole features aggressive lugs (approx. 3.5 mm) for reliable traction on mixed, rocky, dry or wet trails — ideal for technical surfaces and variable conditions.
• Active Chassis for Stability: Integrated chassis design enhances lateral stability and precision, giving confident foot placement when navigating uneven or challenging terrain.
• Quicklace™ System: Minimalist quick-lace closure allows fast, secure fitting and ensures the shoe stays snug during aggressive, fast-paced runs.
• Race-Ready Build: With a neutral foot support profile, a 6 mm drop and a lightweight 240–250 g weight (size 42), this shoe is optimized for speed, agility and technical trail running rather than long, cushioned endurance runs.
