The carbon-fibre Flyplate and enhanced grip fuel your trail-racing speed.

Manifest your mountainous best, when the trail ahead is skiddy and uncertain. Our all-new championship trail-racing shoe melds our best speed components from the running world with what you need to plant your flag first at the finishing line. It offers peak performance, sleek speed and endurance for those who want to summit nature's playground.

Trail speed

A carbon-fibre Flyplate, layered between ZoomX foam and a knit fabric-wrapped midsole, gives you a propulsive and springy feel. It helps you stay fresh to continue pushing the limits of speed.

Grippy traction pattern

A Vibram exclusive Ultrafly outsole made with Vibram Megagrip has a sticky rubber that works with a chevron lug pattern. They combine to provide grip when going uphill or downhill, even in wet weather.

Grippy lugs

This exclusive outsole also features Vibram Litebase and Traction Lug technologies. The result is a lightweight, durable outsole that gives you great grip wherever your run takes you.

Stable on the trail

A flat bottom and minimised cross rocker give you optimal stability on trail terrain while heel-to-toe rocker provides smooth transition. Engineered zones of support in the midfoot help keep you secure.

Durability Where You Need It

The fabric wrap on the midsole helps to cushion the foam from the elements and abrasion of being on the trails. Hard-wearing abrasion-resistant materials provide durability.

More benefits

  • Vapor Weave mesh on the upper provides breathability.
  • Foam midsole adds cushioning.

  • Useless

    davidn175397743 - 25 Nov 2025

    Very poor, they just don’t offer any grip on muddy surfaces. Have had to purchase another pair from a competitor.

  • Wonderful all rounder

    JimmyChappelle - 20 Nov 2025

    On my 2nd pair - Love this shoe for all round training runs, on or off road. Very resilient, It's happy for 500kms+ Perfect for most UK trails that I run, but the only downer is it's not that grippy in the wet/mud for more agressive ascents/descents... Still a 5 star shoe for me though. When is the GTX version coming? that would be the ultimate wet weather trainer!!

  • My other Nikes are better!

    ToBacho - 02 Nov 2025

    The sole (orange) of my Ultraflys was worn out after only 350km of trail runs!!! Nike Support says: "Normal wear and tear"!!! The sole (black) of my Pegasus Trail 4 GTX is still in better condition after 1006km!!

Performance and speed for those who want to summit nature's playground.
