In this video I am going to review the inov-8 Trailfly Ultra G 300 Max and see if their claims for the graphene grip are a gimmick.

First I show a short video of me running around in The Phoenix Park, Dublin in them, then I put them on the turntable to take a close look at them and discuss their specifications.

Then I review them, make some comparisons, and decide whether I can recommend them.
