I'm guessing you mean the tempo? They're great, very light and have sufficient cushion but they're not too mushy. Grippy outsole that has stood up to wear. I would recommend.

Would you have a comparison to Saucony Endorphin Speed? Specifically Width
I love the Brooks Hyperion Tempos.
I run around 75 miles a week at the moment and have been using this shoe exclusively for my long run and occasionally shorter runs if they have some tempo miles sandwiched in.
I have worn them for coming up to 100 miles and really like them. They are very light and have enough cushion to prevent my legs feeling beaten up the day following my longrun but are still fairly firm and responsive. I wouldn't wear them for easy runs or recovery runs as a little too firm for those type of runs in my opinion.
Very easy to run faster in and showing next to no wear after 100 miles.
I enjoy both the Hyperion Tempos and the Endorphin Speeds. Speeds are definatley roomier in the toebox and forefoot in same size 10 with lots of lacing to expand for a higher volume foot. In my average size foot, the Tempos are a great fit out of the box with a typical running sock. In comparison, I can wear a heavy wool sock without issue in the Speeds with even room to spare.
If you want light and snappy with good ground feel for faster stuff (even track) - its the Tempos. If you need more volume and cushioning - its the Speeds.
