Our Verdict
HOKA Mach X
HOKA Mach X 2
The HOKA Mach X and the HOKA Mach X 2 offer a completely different experience—think of the Mach X 2 as a rare sequel that significantly outshines the original. While the Mach X is a decent super trainer, the Mach X 2 takes things to a whole new level, providing a far more cushioned experience, a higher stack height, and significantly better energy return, all while being nearly 20 grams lighter. This combination makes it the preferred option for almost everyone unless you prioritize stability, in which case the original Mach X still offers a more secure feel.
