Cielo X1 2.0

The HOKA Cielo X1 2.0 returns as a pure long-distance racing machine, engineered to deliver maximum propulsion over roads and marathon-paced efforts. Built with two substantial layers of 100% PEBA superfoam surrounding a precision-tuned carbon fiber plate, this updated model provides explosive responsiveness and race-ready efficiency that translates directly into forward speed.

The refined early-stage MetaRocker is even more aggressively tuned for speed, working in harmony with the Active Foot Frame to keep you securely centered and confidently engaged through every stride. Notably, the midsole cutout has shifted from the lateral to the medial side, improving midfoot coverage and smoothing transitions for a more natural rollover.

A premium superfoam sockliner adds extra rebound atop the midsole platform, while the engineered jacquard mesh upper offers breathable containment with a warp-knit tongue, improved collar comfort, and upgraded lacing for race-grade lockdown. Beneath it all, a sticky rubber outsole ensures that every ounce of speed you generate translates into real traction and propulsion on pavement.

For runners seeking a runway-like ride through full or half marathons, the Cielo X1 2.0 stands as HOKA’s purest expression of long-distance speed.
