Nike ACG Pegasus Trail

Published · Researched 2026-09-21

Identifier: nike-acg-pegasus-trail · Trail running shoe (men's & women's) · Current model as of 2026-09-20. Substitution note: the April 2026 redesign dropped the generation number — the "Pegasus Trail 5" naming is retired; Nike now sells this as the Nike ACG Pegasus Trail (style HV8121-310). Cataloged here under the current official name.

Version lineage (2023–2026)

• 2023 — Pegasus Trail 4: React foam era; popular road-to-trail crossover.
• 2024 — Pegasus Trail 5: React cushioning, ATC outsole; the last numbered generation.
• 2026 — Nike ACG Pegasus Trail (this item): full redesign launched April 2026, generation number dropped. $155 MSRP; ReactX midsole; ATC 2.0 outsole; 303 g / 10.7 oz; 39/31 mm stack; 8 mm drop.

Overview

The redesigned ACG Pegasus Trail is Nike's road-to-trail hybrid: comfortable enough for daily miles on pavement, grippy enough for non-technical trails. The April 2026 redesign moved it firmly under the ACG (All Conditions Gear) banner with a burlier outsole and the ReactX foam from Nike's road line.

Key Specs

• MSRP: $155 (2026-09-20); Nike sale price observed $92.97 (2026-09-20)
• Reference weight: 303 g / 10.7 oz (2026-09-20)
• Stack / drop: 39 mm heel / 31 mm forefoot; 8 mm drop (2026-09-20)
• Midsole: Nike ReactX foam
• Outsole: ATC 2.0 (All Terrain Control)
• Style code: HV8121-310 (launch colorway reference)

Pricing

• $155 MSRP; Nike's own store showed $92.97 on sale (2026-09-20) — the redesign discounts quickly, so street price is often well under MSRP.

In the Box

Shoes only — UNVERIFIED (in-box contents not captured on 2026-09-20).

Warranty

• UNVERIFIED: Nike's footwear warranty terms not captured from an official source on 2026-09-20. Nike's standard 60-day wear-test return policy historically applies to run shoes — confirm at nike.com.

Support & Parts

• No parts program; support via Nike customer service and ubiquitous retail (Nike stores, Dick's, Foot Locker, running shops).

Community Verdict

Qualitative social pulse (2026-09-20): the redesign landed well with the road-to-trail crowd — ReactX feels lively, and the ATC 2.0 outsole is a genuine improvement on mixed surfaces. Hardcore trail runners still find it under-gunned for technical terrain (no rock plate heritage, shallow lugs), but as a one-shoe travel/trail crossover it has a strong following.

Durability & warranty reality

• ReactX is Nike's sustainability-forward foam (reduced carbon vs React); long-term compression life on the trail version is not yet established (redesign is ~5 months old).
• ATC 2.0 rubber durability on pavement-heavy use is the watch item.
• Warranty terms UNVERIFIED.

Head-to-head: existing catalog rivals

• HOKA Speedgoat 6: the Speedgoat is the more serious trail tool — deeper lugs, more protection; the ACG Pegasus Trail is the better road-to-trail hybrid and often cheaper on sale.
• Altra Lone Peak 9: zero-drop wide fit vs Nike's 8 mm drop conventional fit; the Nike wins on road comfort, the Lone Peak on trail community trust.
• Salomon X Ultra 360: the X Ultra is a hiker; the Nike is the runner's crossover.

Care

Air-dry; ReactX foam should not be left baking in a hot car. Brush ATC lugs clean after muddy runs.

Buying traps & fit notes

• The name changed — searching "Pegasus Trail 6" may surface the wrong shoe or nothing; the current model is just "Nike ACG Pegasus Trail."
• Frequent Nike.com discounts mean paying full $155 is rarely necessary — watch for the $90–110 sale band.
• Runs slightly long; thick-socked hikers may prefer their usual size rather than sizing up.
