Same kind of shoe, so weight is a fair tiebreaker.
Both are trail running shoes. The Scarpa Ribelle Run 2 is 30 g a pair lighter than the Salomon Speedcross 6.
What the extra 30 g of the Salomon Speedcross 6 buys you
- More cushioning under the heel (30 mm stack against 27 mm).
- A lower list price at Alpinetrek: £128.95 against £154.95.
What the Scarpa Ribelle Run 2 offers besides the lower weight
- Deeper lugs (6 mm against 5 mm), for more grip in mud and on loose ground.
Weights are per pair as Alpinetrek lists them, usually for a medium size, so a few grams either way can come from the size they weighed. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (Salomon Speedcross 6) and Alpinetrek (Scarpa Ribelle Run 2). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.
