New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4
A light, bouncy PEBA/EVA-blend speed trainer with a notably broader platform and 5mm more stack than the v3, capable of everything from easy miles to tempo work. One of the best-value performance trainers of 2024. Runners who need stability features or plush max cushion for long recovery days should look elsewhere.
