Expert Review Sources
- Solereview : 88.9 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 9.8 mm drop and weighing 162 g, the On Cloudspike Amplius 2 stands out in compression testing with a seamless heel-to-midfoot transition (162 g).

- RunRepeat : 88.6 / 100 — « The On Cloudspike Amplius 2 successfully brings much of the brand's road-running know-how to the track. We found in the lab that it stands out from most elite spikes thanks to its roomy fit, stable platform, and premium-feeling upper. It may not deliver the ultra-stiff, springy sensation of carbon-plated competitors, but few long-distance spikes offer such a well-rounded package at this price. »
