Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 88.3 / 100 — « In On's daily trainer lineup, the Cloudsurfer 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (254 g, a 10.4 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 10.4 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 85.5 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the On Cloudsurfer 2 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient CloudTec + Helion platform. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €170. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The On Cloudsurfer 2 delivers a comfort-driven, durability-rich ride with premium materials, and we enjoyed its versatility for both running and casual wear. However, in our experience, it lacks the responsiveness we expect from a high-priced daily trainer. While we think loyal On fans will enjoy its familiar feel and smooth ride, we believe there are better-performing, more budget-friendly options available. »
