Older INOV8 models
Besides these three current X-Talon models, several older models have also passed through the collection in recent years. Do you still have one of these models? Then search for it below and see which one is the best alternative in the current collection.
X-Talon 190
The most lightweight X-Talon ever on the market. The predecessor to the 210. A narrow shoe that dries quickly thanks to the open mesh. There's no real alternative, but for narrow feet, the 212 is the way to go.
X-Talon 200
The first truly wide X-Talon, aside from the wide 212 variant that ever existed. For those in the know, that was the 212 Standard Edition. It has been succeeded by the current X-Talon 255.
X-Talon 210
Only recently removed from the collection, but still readily available. A true competition shoe. Feather-light, quick-drying, and phenomenal grip. Narrow fit, so it could potentially be replaced by the 212. Although, there's no other shoe that dries as quickly.
X-Talon 225
This one is A very short-lived shoe. A narrow shoe, but with a stiffer mesh than the 190. It was succeeded by the 235.
X-Talon 230
This was a kind of 212, but made of a different material. This shoe had a rubber-like edge all the way around. The INOV8 fans remained loyal to the 212, so it's gone again.
X-Talon 235
No longer available. It was a kind of successor to the 225. Neither were particularly popular. It's a narrow shoe, so the 210 is best for now.
