Summary

The Brooks Hyperion GTS 2 is designed for runners seeking a lightweight, stability-focused shoe that delivers both speed and support. Part of Brooks' Hyperion lineup, the GTS 2 incorporates the GuideRails holistic support system, which is engineered to stabilize excess movements, helping to reduce injury risk and promote a more efficient stride. Compared to other Brooks models, the Hyperion GTS 2 sits in the performance-oriented category, offering a knuckle-fit design for a secure and flexible fit. While not as cushioned as the Ghost or Glycerin, it provides a streamlined, responsive feel for faster runs and racing. It's ideal for runners who need a mix of slight stability and a quick, energetic ride.
