Our take on the Brooks Hyperion Elite LD 2

The Hyperion Elite LD 2 is Brooks' track and road racing flat built for short, fast efforts. At about 4.7 oz it is one of the lightest shoes in its class, with a knit upper, a firm polyurethane midsole and a carbon fiber plate that stiffens the forefoot for toe-off. It suits milers through 5K/10K racers and speedwork days, but its thin, firm ride and minimal cushioning make it a poor choice for long distances or easy miles. Rivals like the Nike Dragonfly and Adidas Adizero Avanti offer similar plate-assisted speed with more forgiving foam, so the Brooks stands out mainly for its low weight and aggressive forefoot feel.

What reviewers say

Racers and reviewers treat the Hyperion Elite LD 2 as a specialist speed shoe: light, stiff and quick, but unforgiving. Most praise its weight and forefoot snap for short races and workouts, while criticising the firm ride and thin cushioning over longer distances.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedOwners say it disappears on foot and feels among the lightest racers they have worn.

  • CushioningCriticisedRunners say the thin, firm midsole beats up the legs beyond 5K to 10K.

Questions and answers

Is the Hyperion Elite LD 2 good for marathon racing?
No. It is a short-distance racer with thin, firm cushioning. For a marathon, a max-cushion carbon racer like the Hyperion Elite 4 is the better Brooks choice.
How does it compare with the Nike Dragonfly?
Both are light, plate-assisted racers. The Brooks has a firmer polyurethane midsole and a lower, more aggressive feel; the Dragonfly is generally more forgiving over longer track races.
Does the carbon fiber plate make it unstable?
No. The low platform and knit upper keep it stable in turns. The stiffness is felt at toe-off rather than as wobble.
Can I use it for daily training?
Only for speedwork. The firm ride and limited outsole durability make it a race-day and interval shoe, not a daily trainer.
How does the sizing run?
It runs true to length but narrow through the forefoot. Runners with wide feet should consider going up a half size or trying it on first.
What is the shoe best suited to?
Track races from 800m to 5K, road 5K and 10K races, and fast interval sessions on smooth surfaces.
Where is the Brooks Hyperion Elite LD 2 cheapest?
At Brooks Running, for $180.00, as of our latest check.
