The New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4 is a lightweight, versatile, and soft daily trainer that excels at a wide variety of paces without the need for a propulsion plate. While many runners enjoy its bouncy and comfortable ride, it is polarizing due to its very wide fit, a short tongue, and a midsole that some find too soft or "dead" at high speeds. Because the newer Rebel v5 addresses these specific design complaints, most testers recommend skipping the v4 unless you can find it on a significant discount (sub-$100).
