New BalanceFuelCell Rebel v4

Verdict

The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 is a high-performing option in its class — a speed trainer scoring 88/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 212g, it is notably lightweight for a speed trainer. The 32mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a plush and deeply cushioned ride at 24 HC, returning 71% of impact energy and feeling exceptionally bouncy underfoot. Geometrically, the FuelCell Rebel v4 runs on a low 6mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 26mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 93mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. True to size. Roomy toe box. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for tempo training, 5k / 10k racing, speed workouts, lightweight daily, and performs less well for max cushion seekers or long slow distance.
