New Balance SC Pacer v2 First Workout Review

Рет қаралды 16,078

Күн бұрын

The New Balance SC Pacer v2 is a racing shoe designed to be a low-profile, lighter weight alternative to the conventional 40mm stack marathon racing shoes. Priced at $200, it goes head-to-head in the short-distance racing segment with the Nike Streakfly ($160), Hoka Cielo ($160) and Adidas Takumi Sen 10 ($180). In this video, I give an overview of the SC Pacer v2, put it through a workout and let you know my thoughts on how it stacks up.

@supwell I started running a few months ago and am currently training for my first half marathon in September. I'm 6'2", 240, so a bigger runner. Currently run in the SL2'S, have the 1080's for daily wear and also novablast 4's that I haven't really loved running it just yet. But I definitely want a good shoe for the half. Up for suggestions so your videos are really helpful. Would be more helpful if you'd put on 80lbs for me. 😅

I'm looking at the Adidas takumi sen 10 or New balance sc pacer 2 to replace my Brooks hyperion max 1 for tempo workouts/race day (5k & 10k).

@supwell 24 күн бұрын

so far i prefer the sc pacer v2, especially if you're going to use it for a lot of training. it feels fast enough to race in but stability and comfort are significantly better than the takumi sen. for me even warming up and cooling down in the takumi sen can be uncomfortable - the pacer felt like i could have on my foot all day. fit is a little snug though so you may want to go up half a size if you're between sizes

I hope its gonna be good, SC trainer v2 was great. I used it to run my first Marathon, ran my pr in Half Marathon and 10k but the durability sucks, when it 250km plus the foam felt different and 300km plus you can basically bend the shoe and almost worn ou but im still rocking it coz I’m broke😂

Hey i'm new to the channel. I was sent here as i was told we have a large cross over in preference for running shoes. Looking at the wear on the heel for the SC pacer would you say you tend to heel strike?

How does this compare to the rebel v4?

@supwell 24 күн бұрын

Bouncier, less flexible, feels a lot faster. Also feels a little more cushioned, maybe because the foam here doesn't compress as easily as the rebel's. But overall feels way more like a racing shoe but still has that classic new balance comfort

@projectdaily4032 24 күн бұрын

Been looking forward to this shoe review, loved the rebel v3 so if it’s anything like it with the carbon plate I’m going love it. But don’t know if 200 is worth it maybe more like 180.

@supwell 24 күн бұрын

yeah price is a bit steep but reminds me a lot of that rebel v3 but plated. i bet we'll see some good christmas season sales somewhere that will bring the price of this down a bit - so if you can hold tight you should be able to snag at some point for $180 or lower

@DDelgado57 8 күн бұрын

Help me decide! Pacers or Rebels? I’m a bigger guy (250lbs) coming from Hoka Clifton 9’s wide.

@supwell 8 күн бұрын

Of those two choices if you're looking for something to replace the Clifton I'd definitely go for the rebels. The pacer is more aggressive with the carbon plate and a little less comfortable. Rebel is fast and light but still decent comfortable. The rebel isn't as cushioned as the Clifton though so if you like that cushioned feel I'd also suggest taking a look at the new balance 860v14. It's my favorite daily trainer and can handle any type of run - nice smooth ride like the Clifton

@Pablo18358 17 күн бұрын

I’m a size 9 but usually size up to a 10 in running shoes. I ordered the 10 in these and my toes were smashed. I’ve had to order the 11. In my opinion these are a size smaller than they state.

Great review, but how does it compare to SL2? :D

@supwell 24 күн бұрын

Great question! Little more snap in this one from the carbon plate - definitely more of a fast race day feel. The pacer was comfortable but the SL2 would still be my pick for walking, relaxed miles etc. I also anticipate the plate in the Pacer will make it a bit better for grinding out longer workouts - but will have to do another test to see

@@supwellit is not really a question. The carbon plate adds 30grams which easily explains the similar weight between the two shoes.

Could this be the best running shoe of the year?

@supwell 23 күн бұрын

For someone who loves lower profile lighter weight shoes this could definitely be shoe of the year. If I were running lower mileage or doing half marathon training this would be a top contender for sure. This year I'm personally liking a little more cushion in my top picks since I'm in a marathon training/high mileage mode
