"The flawless Salomon-style fit has a snug heel and midfoot, and enough space for toe splay. It is not as snug as the Salomon Speedcross 6, and has more volume vertically than either version of the Salomon Genesis. There's no squeak or pinch point at the medial ball of the foot that plagued later versions of the Sense Ride, and the midsole is springy and resilient."
"The Pulsar has a 6-millimeter drop, which means I need a heel lift to get my preferred 8-millimeter drop range, but it's a mid-range drop good for many runners. I find the shoe offers a nice balance between underfoot protection and ground feel, which gives me confidence on calmer yet still hilly terrain. With an actual weight of 10.2 ounces (290 grams) for a U.S. men's 9, it's light enough that I feel pretty peppy I my step"
"With a stack height of 30 millimeters at the heel and 24 millimeters at the forefoot, the cushion is considered moderate but is proving to be extremely resilient even as the miles stack up. The ride is smooth and agile without any high-tech plates and shapes, allowing for any runner to move at a variety of paces efficiently. The lack of a rock plate relegates it firmly to the realm of smoother terrain for me,"
The Salomon Pulsar retails for $140 and targets moderate terrain with a lightweight, responsive design. Over 250 miles of use show the midsole remains springy and resilient while maintaining moderate stack height. The fit features a snug heel and midfoot with adequate toe-box volume and no medial pinch issues. The shoe has a 6 mm drop, 30 mm heel and 24 mm forefoot stack, and weighs 10.2 oz (U.S. men's 9). The ride is smooth and agile without plates, balancing protection and ground feel. Lack of a rock plate limits use to smoother trails, dirt roads, and hilly singletrack as a daily trail trainer.
