A low-slung, agile trail dart built for nimble navigation across twisty singletrack and rocky hills. The 267g build uses a firm 28mm PWRRUN stack with an integrated rock plate and deep 5mm PWRTRAC lugs over a low 4mm drop, prioritizing precise ground feel and agile foot placement.
Skip it — or buy it
Verdict: buySkip it if
You want deeper cushion for ultra distances or long descents. 31mm of PWRRUN rides mid-tier; ultra-stage legs land flat past 50K.
You want bouncy trail turnover from foam-first designs. The EVA-blend midsole stays protective and steady rather than poppy.
You need a mud-and-bog specialist over an all-round trail daily. PWRTRAC digs broadly but the 5mm multidirectional lugs stay generalist in deep mud.
Buy it if
You want one trail shoe that does everything without any big weakness. The Peregrine 14 takes mixed terrain, technical lines and wet ground with composure.
You want confident grip at a class-leading weight. 267g plus PWRTRAC bite is an unusually light full-grip trail package.
You want a true-to-size, low-risk trail pick for beginners. The engineered mesh fits orthodox and the low 4mm drop welcomes natural strides.
