Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 88.3 / 100 — « Across our trail & montagne testing on trail, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 impresses in real-world trail testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on trail make it a standout contender at €180. »
  • RunMag : 88.0 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 9.6 mm drop and weighing 286 g, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 impresses in real-world trail testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for trail & montagne training. »
  • RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « Nike has completely revamped the Pegasus Trail 5. We discovered that it now features a superior ReactX midsole, a roomier upper, and higher-quality materials—all for the same price. Durability is also impressive for being a road-to-trail shoe. However, we believe the grip is still lacking, and there's a slight weight increase that could have been avoided. »
