Best Alternatives to Inov8 Trailfly Ultra G 300 Max

Trailfly Ultra G 300 Max is Inov8’s maximum G-FLY / G-GRIP ultra mountain shoe — graphene foam and outsole, niche shops, 6mm drop. Keep it for long technical ultras when stack is the shopping trigger. Leave for Peregrine when you want a lighter daily trail, Speedgoat when Hoka geometry wins, or a road max-cushion when the week is not mountain.
