Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 93.6 / 100 — « The Saucony Tempus 2 does not reinvent the series, and we believe that's good news. We were impressed by the lively PWRRUN PB foam, which keeps the ride energetic while the firm PWRRUN frame adds support and durability. That said, breathability and weight are real downgrades, and we feel these issues were easily avoidable. Even so, it remains one of the strongest options in its category, especially for runners who truly care about energy return. »
