Expert Review Sources

  • The Running Collective : 80.0 / 100 — « In Brooks's performance & tempo lineup, the Hyperion GTS 2 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its DNA Flash v2 midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €210. »
  • RunRepeat : 79.6 / 100 — « We think the Hyperion GTS 2 brings a fresh and focused take to stability shoes. We were impressed by how agile it felt on our runs, offering just the right touch of stability without slowing things down. The shoe performed well in the lab and even better out on the road, especially for runners who enjoy ground contact. However, we believe it’s not the best match for long runs or forefoot strikers, as the high drop and thin front cushioning made it feel a bit harsh up front. »
  • Runnea : 76.8 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable performance & tempo option, the Brooks Hyperion GTS 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (220 g, a 10.7 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for performance & tempo training. »
