It is the latter that we are talking about today and &#8211; <em>spoiler alert<\/em> &#8211; there is also the Carbon X 2.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-system-in-equilibrium\">A system in equilibrium<\/h2>\n<p>The interesting side of HOKA ONE ONE production is that the basic feelings and technologies of the different models are the same but, from time to time, interpreted differently to give each model a different character.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, we find a <strong>5 mm drop<\/strong> on all the models we will see today as well, the same as the cushioned models. While the <strong>Meta-Rocker<\/strong> is projected more toward the front of the shoe, so as to increase its momentum and dynamics in the take-off phase.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very important aspect to take into account as it makes the transition between different models very easy, especially since it resets adaptation time to zero and optimizes the use of different, training-specific shoes.<br \/>\nSimply put: you can use Bondi or Clifton for long and Carbon X 2 or Mach 4 for faster work without having to make any adjustments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"carbon-yes-or-no\">Carbon yes or no?<\/h2>\n<p>HOKA ONE ONE was the second brand to introduce carbon-foil shoes to the market. At first there were the early Carbon Xs-now up to version 2, with some optimizations-now joined by the Rocket Xs as well.<br \/>\nBut don&#8217;t think that the presence of carbon somehow affects the comfort common to all models of the California band! It is simply an addition that <strong>further enhances the momentum effect of the Meta-Rocker<\/strong> (the special curvature of the sole), integrating into a context where the key words are: <strong>speed, fluidity, responsiveness and comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>However, it must be considered that the presence of the carbon lamina gives the shoe a very specific behavior: less flexibility (a consequence of explosive take-off ability) and higher perceived weight. All of this-as we all know-at the expense of lowering average times on the pass.<\/p>\n<p>In the specific case of HOKA ONE ONE, the inclusion of the carbon blade is not only related to a greater &#8220;spring effect&#8221; in take-off but also to <strong>increasing the smoothness of the transition<\/strong> between stance and take-off.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is fair to say that <strong>carbon is not for everyone<\/strong>. And I&#8217;m not talking about speed; I&#8217;m talking about feel. It is not uncommon to prefer shoes without the carbon midsole layer because people prefer to run in lighter, more flexible shoes, especially in technique work where <strong>feel is more important than chronometric results<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in this guide I propose two alternatives with carbon foil and as many with a more traditional setting.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-models-with-carbon-foil\">The models with carbon foil<\/h2>\n<p>Two models born to go hard, very hard, but without sacrificing anything in terms of comfort and cushioning. As I told you just above, while being extremely fast, all of these shoes maintain the typical HOKA ONE ONE feel with responsiveness, smoothness, comfort and cushioning.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"hoka-one-one-carbon-x-2-speed-for-everyone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paragonshop.it\/it\/shoponline\/uomo\/calzature\/road-running\/carbon-x-2-mens.hk.1113526?color=FWT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HOKA ONE ONE Carbon X 2: speed for everyone<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46142 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"1200\"  height=\"800\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=690%2C460&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 690w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=870%2C580&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 870w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=696%2C464&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=1068%2C712&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/runlovers.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ga02hoka-02.jpg?resize=630%2C420&amp;quality=75&amp;ssl=1 630w\" ><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Carbon X&#8221; are probably HOKA&#8217;s most talked about <em>road<\/em> model.
