Durability of the HeliX™ Sole

Durability of the HeliX™︎ Sole

The HeliX™︎ sole, used in HYBEX's running shoe HX LENS, features a 3D printed structure incorporating a proprietary metamaterial.
Due to its structural characteristics, durability has been treated as one of the key considerations throughout the development process, and extensive validation has been conducted.

In real world running tests, even after accumulating more than 500 kilometers of running, no signs of structural collapse, fracture, or noticeable deformation of the sole have been observed.

In addition, laboratory flex testing was conducted under controlled conditions, applying a 50 degree bending angle at a speed of 70 to 100 cycles per minute for a total of 125,000 continuous flex cycles.
After completing this test, no cracks or structural failures were found in the 3D printed structure.

Based on these verification results, we have confirmed that the HeliX sole provides sufficient durability for running applications.
HX LENS is not a shoe created simply to introduce new structures or materials.
It is designed and validated with the goal of delivering a stable and consistent running experience over the long term.

HYBEX will continue to enhance product reliability and experiential value through ongoing quantitative testing and real world validation.
