Adidas Agravic Trail Lineup 2026: Which Shoe Fits Your Terrain?

Introduction

Adidas has rebuilt its Agravic trail running range around four clearly defined roles, and the naming makes more sense than it first appears: Agravic is the trail franchise name, standing for anti-gravity, the idea that you should feel unrestricted on the mountains. Within the line you now have a dedicated super shoe, a lightweight speed trainer, a technical-terrain specialist, and an everyday workhorse. Here is how each one fits.

Adidas Agravic Speed Ultra 2: The Trail Super Shoe

The Speed Ultra 2 keeps the super shoe feeling of the first generation, which was the first trail running super shoe, while refining nearly everything around it. The midsole geometry is unchanged, but the Lightstrike Pro compound has been updated with higher energy return, so the ride feels even more springy. The signature aggressive rocker and narrow midfoot, paired with nylon-based energy rods rather than carbon, still create that distinctive sensation of being pushed forward.

The upper is entirely new. A TPU foil slingshot construction sits under tension, wraps around the heel, and runs underneath the upper to glue into the tooling, addressing the heel lockdown that was not quite perfect on version one. The heel collar is also taller with reworked padding to reduce the blisters and discomfort some runners experienced previously. The outsole drops the lug count but uses bigger, longer lugs for more grip. Despite the extra rubber, the whole shoe is 9 grams lighter than before. It retails for $230, the same price as the first generation, and is already available.

This is the shoe for fast, runnable trails rather than the most technical terrain, and it rewards runners who want to feel speed on the uphills and rolling ground.

Adidas Agravic Speed 2: Light and Quick

The Agravic Speed 2, the next generation of the Agravic Speed, sits below the Speed Ultra as a shorter-distance racing and tempo training shoe. It has no energy rods and a lower stack height, and at 220 grams it is the lightest shoe in the range, a notable figure for a shoe with a full rubber outsole.

Lug height and shape are now broadly similar to the Speed Ultra 2, though with a different lug pattern, since the Speed Ultra’s lugs were dialed up this generation. Many athletes are expected to race in the Speed Ultra 2 and train in the Speed 2, making it a natural complement within a shoe rotation.

It is a genuinely fun shoe to run in, best suited to shorter efforts and runnable terrain where a low, light platform shines.

Adidas Agravic TT: Built for Technical Terrain

The Agravic TT, short for technical terrain, fills the gap between the two speed shoes. Its platform is visibly different: a much wider midfoot and heel, plus longer lugs, so it excels where the Speed Ultra 2 does not. Instead of energy rods it uses a rock plate with a dual purpose, providing a bit of energy return along with protection.

The midsole combines Lightstrike Pro in the midfoot with Lightstrike Plus, a conventional EVA that still reaches about 65 percent energy return and stays soft, absorbing shocks on rough ground while the Pro layer adds a poppy roll-off under the midfoot, just less extreme than the super shoe. The rocker is flatter and more planted. The heel is more heavily padded for comfort and protection, and the upper uses polyamide-reinforced yarns for abrasion resistance and durability on rocky trails.

It launches February 16th in North America at $180.

Adidas Agravic 4: The Everyday Workhorse

The Agravic 4 is the go-to everyday trainer of the range. There is no supercritical foam, no energy rods, and no special hardware, just a capable, versatile shoe that gets the work done. It uses Lightstrike Plus EVA, the same foam as the TT, offering very good energy return and a soft, comfortable ride without racing-shoe pop.

It keeps its $140 price point while receiving an updated foam, a renewed and much softer upper, and, new for this generation, knotted braided laces that previously appeared only higher up the range. Given how well liked the third version was, holding the price while improving the shoe makes this a genuinely strong value in a market where $140 no longer buys much.

For newer trail runners, or anyone who simply wants one dependable shoe, this is the sensible pick.

Conclusion

The Agravic lineup now covers nearly every trail need: the Speed Ultra 2 at $230 for maximum speed on runnable trails, the Speed 2 at 220 grams for fast training and short races, the TT at $180 for technical terrain, and the Agravic 4 at $140 for everyday versatility. Matching the shoe to your terrain and budget makes the choice straightforward.
