Easy on the legs, pushes the pace:
The idea: “All in” from the first to the very last meter. When the starting gun goes off, there are no more excuses. There’s only one goal: The podium.
Here’s how it works: The Ultra DNA 2 was developed together with our athletes at the toughest ultra races in the world. The focus: maximum leg protection, so you can still pick up speed when others start to fade.
That’s how we win
-
SPEEDFOAM Rebound midsole – maximum cushioning and energy return
-
Carbontech plate – efficient forward propulsion and optimal stability
-
VIBRAM® Megagrip Litebase outsole – precise grip in all conditions
-
Heel Preloader – 360° heel support at minimal weight
Mallorca, Istria, Transcanaria. Results don’t lie.
The Ultra DNA 2 has already proven itself time and again: Our DYNAFIT athletes secured numerous international wins with the prototype before the shoe even hit the shelves.

By athletes, for athletes.
No one knows better what matters in competition than our athletes. The Ultra DNA 2 is the direct result of the intense collaboration between our footwear specialists and the DYNAFIT race team. 19 runners, 20,000 test kilometers, and 8 prototypes: Every detail was tested, refined, scrapped and reworked. In countless feedback rounds, the pros and our development team fine-tuned every last detail until the shoe delivered exactly what you need in the final: full speed with maximum leg protection. Now we’re exactly where we wanted to be. Right at the top.
“In the downhills – just wow! Super fast and incredibly easy on the legs. The day after the race, my legs felt fresh!”
— Hannes Namberger
“I love the shoe! It’s full attack all the way to the finish, and you can really push to your limit.”
— Rosanna Buchauer

From athlete feedback to final product: an 18-month journey
The project began in July 2024 after the Lavaredo Ultra Trail with a clear goal: to solve the performance challenges identified by our athletes. Following an intensive R&D phase, the first 3D-printed components arrived in April 2025, followed by the first runnable prototype in July. In multiple rounds of athlete testing and refinement, the system was further developed through December 2025, when it was finally approved.
Actually, the new Ultra DNA 2 wasn’t supposed to launch until Summer 2027. But we couldn’t wait any longer: The Ultra DNA 2 is now available in limited quantities. Get the edge for your next race now. #SPEEDUP
