HOKA Rocket X Trail is not a traditional trail shoe. It's built for runners who want maximum speed on gravel, dusty paths, and light terrain, drawing inspiration from the best road racing shoes. With aggressive rocker geometry, an H-shaped carbon plate, and a next-gen A-TPU foam midsole, Rocket X Trail is HOKA's fastest trail shoe ever.

A-TPU AND H-SHAPED CARBON PLATE

The core of Rocket X Trail is a dual-layer A-TPU midsole, aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane. A-TPU is the latest and most advanced foam material on the market, starting to replace PEBA in the fastest competition shoes from leading brands. It offers extremely responsive and energy-giving running with good durability, and Rocket X Trail is one of the first trail shoes in the world to use this material.

An H-shaped carbon plate runs through the midsole, designed to move in multiple planes independently. It provides dynamic propulsion reminiscent of a road racer, but with the stability and adaptability needed on uneven surfaces. The aggressive meta-rocker geometry rolls the foot forward efficiently, reducing energy loss with each step.

WHO IS HOKA ROCKET X TRAIL FOR?

Rocket X Trail is a specialist shoe for experienced trail runners competing on relatively easy and non-technical paths, gravel, and mixed terrain. It's fast, light, and responsive, best for runners with neutral needs running at a high to moderate pace.

It's not the right shoe for technical mountain terrain with many rocks, roots, and steep climbs. Here, a shoe with more grip and higher edge protection like HOKA's Tecton X series would be a better choice. However, Rocket X Trail is exceptionally versatile and works well on roads and gravel, making it a natural racing shoe for mixed terrain runs and gravel routes.

The upper is constructed in a single layer of engineered mesh that keeps weight minimal and ensures good ventilation. The fit is snug and racing-like, and the shoe typically fits short, so it's recommended to go up half a size.
