The Hoka Cielo X1 2.0 is the carbon racer follow-up to the Cielo X1 and Hoka is making big changes to make the new Cielo a better fit for faster runs. It's shaved off some considerable weight, redesigned the midsole and updated the upper to give it more racing appeal. Testers Gill, Nick and Mike have logged plenty of miles in the Cielo X1 2.0 to tell you if you should be splashing a hefty £250/$275 to get them on your feet.
