The read
Should you buy it?
Buy it if…
You coach neutral runners who want a firm-but-cushioned, durable max-stack daily trainer and like On’s rockered ride.
Skip it if…
You want a soft superfoam feel, a light tempo shoe, or a snug/precise fit: size down or look elsewhere.

Value / Deal
Crowd & price figures from public sources, as of 17 Oct 2026. Live aggregation is rolling out, so figures may change.
The Cloudmonster 2 is On’s big, cushioned daily trainer, and the update genuinely improves the first: a wide, stable max-stack platform, a smooth rockered roll, and dual-density foam that adds pop. Independent testing lands it at 88/100, and it’s a durable, versatile cruiser for easy and long miles.
What it isn’t is soft or light. The “Helion” reads more like enhanced EVA than a plush superfoam, it’s heavy at ~292–300 g, and it runs large. For a coach recommending a durable cushioned trainer with On’s signature ride, it delivers, just set expectations on firmness, weight and sizing.
