FuelCell Midsole with PEBA: A Leap in Energy Return

New Balance SC Elite v4

At the heart of the SuperComp Elite v4 is the FuelCell midsole, made from PEBA (polyether block amide), a material known for its exceptional energy return properties. This advanced technology has been developed over many years, and the New Balance research team has worked tirelessly to produce a shoe that offers both speed and comfort.

The result is a midsole that gives the runner a propulsive feel, contributing to a more efficient and energetic run.

Energy Arc: The Groundbreaking Carbon Fiber Plate

A key feature of the SuperComp Elite v4 is the Energy Arc technology. This is a sport-specific carbon fiber plate with geometry combined with strategic cavities in the midsole. The unique design aims to increase stored energy, resulting in a higher overall energy return with each step.

The thinner carbon fiber plate ensures the shoe remains lightweight while offering superior performance.

Rocker Profile: For a Smooth Transition

The SuperComp Elite v4 also features a rocker profile that provides a smooth and natural transition from heel to toe. This feature improves the overall running experience and provides a more comfortable and efficient stride, which is especially important during long races or intense training sessions.

Lightweight and Durable: A Perfect Balance

Weighing just 237 grams (8.4 oz), the SuperComp Elite v4 is a lightweight powerhouse. Thanks to the solid rubber outsole, the weight reduction does not compromise durability. This careful balance of lightness and strength means runners can enjoy both speed and longevity in their shoes.
