Our Verdict
New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4
On Cloudboom Strike
The On Cloudboom Strike and New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite v4 offer similar overall energy return but deliver different ride experiences. The New Balance is less cushioned but more stable, providing a soft yet propulsive feel with better support, making it a solid choice for those prioritizing a secure ride. In contrast, the On is lighter, which enhances efficiency in race conditions, helping runners maintain speed with less effort. While both are designed for racing, the New Balance leans toward stability, whereas the On prioritizes lightweight performance and a cushioned, leg-saving feel.
