💥💥💥 APEX GRIP Technology:
The Data-Driven Revolution in Trail Running Outsoles.
❗What is APEX Grip Technology?
🔸APEX Grip is a high-performance outsole system engineered by 361° with an advanced anti-slip rubber formula. The primary goal of this technology is to solve the traditional trade-off between a "sticky" sole that wears down quickly and a durable sole that slips on wet surfaces.
🔸By enhancing both traction and durability simultaneously, APEX Grip provides a reliable platform for diverse terrains. Currently, this innovation is featured on two of our leading trail models: the 361° FUTURA 3 and the 361° LYNX 2.
❗Understanding the Traction Coefficient: The Math of the Trail
🔸Grip performance is measured using a Traction Coefficient, a standardized metric in the footwear industry. It represents the ratio between frictional force and the force pressing the outsole against the ground.
🔸To validate APEX Grip, 361° conducted extensive Dynamic and Static Traction Coefficient testing. This method replicates real running movements, particularly the moments when slipping is most likely to occur during foot strike and toe-off.
🔸When tested against previous outsole compounds and industry benchmarks, APEX Grip consistently demonstrated higher traction values, confirming its enhanced grip across multiple surfaces.
❗The Real-World Advantage: 40% Better in Wet Conditions
🔸While the average traction numbers show a significant increase of approximately 23%, the real-world performance advantage is even more apparent in specific conditions. Extensive testing indicates that APEX Grip delivers approximately 40% improved grip specifically in wet conditions.
🔸Wet surfaces are where standard outsoles typically fail. By maintaining a high traction coefficient even when moisture is introduced, APEX Grip narrows the gap between dry-weather security and wet-weather performance. This makes it an ideal choice for runners facing river crossings, damp roots, or unpredictable mountain weather.
💥If you are looking for a shoes that provides more grip on wet trails, explore the 361° FUTURA 3 and 361° LYNX 2 to experience the evolution of grip firsthand.
