Summary

The ASICS Gel-Excite Trail 2 is a dependable and versatile trail running shoe designed for entry-level trail runners and those looking for a balance between comfort and performance on light to moderate trails. This model features a breathable mesh upper, keeping feet cool, and overlays that add support across varied terrains. The presence of the GEL cushioning system in the rearfoot region offers improved shock absorption, enhancing comfort on rugged paths. Beneath, the outsole's lug pattern enhances grip and stability, making it suitable for off-road surfaces. In ASICS's lineup, the Gel-Excite Trail 2 sits as an affordable trail option, providing essential features without the advanced technologies found in ASICS's higher-end models like the GEL-Trabuco or the GEL-FujiTrabuco series. Its positioning makes it ideal for those new to trail running or runners seeking a reliable shoe for less technical trail endeavors.
