Trail Domination
The Salomon Speedcross 5 is engineered for one purpose: conquering technical trail terrain. Every design element prioritizes grip and control over soft surfaces.
Contagrip Outsole
The aggressive 5mm lugs provide unmatched traction on soft, muddy, and loose surfaces. Testing on steep, technical trails revealed superior grip in challenging conditions.
Quicklace System
Salomon's proprietary lacing system allows for quick adjustments and creates an incredibly secure fit. The system rarely comes loose during aggressive trail running.
Precise Fit
The Speedcross 5 fits like a glove, with minimal heel slip and excellent midfoot security. The precision fit enhances control on technical terrain.
Terrain Limitations
While exceptional on soft trails, the aggressive lugs perform poorly on hard surfaces and pavement. This is a specialized tool for specific conditions.
Competitive Edge
For trail racing and technical terrain, the Speedcross 5 provides a competitive advantage through superior traction and control.
