Pegasus Turbo 2 comparables?

New Balance Rebel v2 is superior in every way. Peg Turbo 2s had horrific lockdown and the ZoomX might as well not have been there.

Oh my god, I came in here to say almost the same thing.

I dont have a lot of shoes but I happen to have both the Turbo 2 and the original New Balance FuelCell Rebels.

I wasnt sure if they were comparable shoes, but the Rebels have been so much better than I expected them to be. Youre right, from the beginning i felt like the Turbos were too big, i shouldnt have gone true to size. Feels like they overcorrected due to the complaints about how tight the og Turbos felt to some ppl (who probably had fat, flat feet)

What was most interesting to me is that my Rebels aged a lot better than my Turbos. The zoomX doesnt seem that durable. But the rebels still feel great even after like 500 miles, and theyre way cheaper.

Was about to say the same thing. Rebel v2. Just got this shoe last week and an instant favorite. Similar to the Pegasus Turbo I find myself reaching for it almost every day at this point no matter what the session is.

Well dang, 3 in a row for the FuelCell Rebel 2 - I will have to try this.

Thanks!

Wow I didnt know the rebels were liked so mucb.

They were the first non-nike shoe i bought, so i feel lucky that on the first try i got something decently good.

How about the original Reebok Floatride Run Fast? Readily available on eBay for around $80.

I haven't run in the Turbo, so I can't say for sure, but they seem pretty similar on paper. The Run Fast is meant more as a race show, but it works just as well for me as a light trainer. The sole lasts forever, too.

Reporting back.

I got the NB rebel v2 for about $110 on ebay.

Ive now run in them 3 times and they are excellent. They are soft, light, and have a better lock down than the peg turbo 2s. Overall I like them better.

Great recommendation, thanks all.

The supply is running low it seems, I only want to spend about $100 for a shoe like this. Looking for something comparable since they have discontinued. I prefer the cushioning of this shoe and I use it for tempos, longer intervals, and quality long runs.

I tried the Brooks Hyperion Tempo and I hate it, no cushioning and the insert slides around when too sweaty. Any suggestions of comparable shoes out there to try?

I have the same issue too. Nike doesn't seem to have any new shoes comparable to the Turbo 2. All the new zoom X, Alpha, 4%... etc are fine for running in a straight light on the road but horrible for anything else. The Peg 35/36s were a great all around shoe too, but the new peg 38s suck. Sadly they have shifted back to a middle aged hobby jogger guy shoe. smh...

Thanks for reporting back. Added advantage to the rebel v2... they make them in wide for us fat feet people.
