| Pros | Smooth, stable ride with a moderate bounce · Works from 8:00 to 4:30/km · Perfect heel lockdown and snug midfoot · Wide, stable forefoot (about 120 mm) · Foam should last about 800 km · Strong value even at ₹10,000 | Enjoyable ride at all paces · Lightweight and stable-neutral · Premium upper and lockdown · Excellent grip |
| Cons | Poor breathability, feet got hot after about 18 km · Average traction in the wet · Feels flatter above 7:30/km · Limited availability in India, hard to identify authorised resellers | Lacks the bounce and snap of the Evo SL |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want the very bouncy trampoline feel of the Novablast 3 or Novablast 5, or you run long in hot, humid conditions and need a very breathable upper. | You want the Evo SL's top-end speed. It is very close at faster paces, but not quite the same level. |
