The Li Ning Dilu 2 PRO is the upgraded performance variant, featuring a full-length T700 carbon plate and super-Boom midsole for 89% energy return, ideal for competitive trail racing. Its GCU outsole with 3.2mm lugs offers 13% better grip, while the BOA lacing system ensures a secure fit (236g/US8.5). In contrast, the standard version uses a dual-density midsole (Boom + Lightfoam Ultra) without a carbon plate, making it lighter (260g/US9) and more versatile for casual trail running. The PRO targets elite athletes with its advanced tech, while the standard provides affordability for broader audiences.
The DiLu 2 PRO is Li-Ning’s flagship trail racer, engineered for podium-focused athletes who demand maximum propulsion and feather-light agility on technical terrain.
