Our Verdict
Kiprun KS900 2
Kiprun Kipride Max
The Kiprun Kipride Max and Kiprun KS900 2 are both daily trainers, but the Kipride Max is the more capable and more premium option. The KS900 2 is a simpler, no-frills trainer with a more stable platform, but it isn’t bouncy at all, and its cushioning feels a lot less protective, especially when runs get longer. The Kipride Max has a more substantial stack and more effective cushioning, with a PEBA and EVA-based midsole that adds a bit of bounce, making it the more well-executed shoe overall.
