Which is lighter, the Asics GT-2000 11 or the GT-2000 12?

The GT-2000 12, by 0.4 oz in a men's US 9 (9.4 oz vs 9.8 oz).

Do the Asics GT-2000 11 and GT-2000 12 come in the same widths?

Yes. Both run in D, 2E, 4E for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the GT-2000 11 carries over to the GT-2000 12.

How do the stack heights compare?

23 mm heel and 15 mm forefoot on the Asics GT-2000 11, against 36 mm and 28 mm on the GT-2000 12. That is 13 mm more under the heel and 13 mm more under the forefoot. See the stack height note in the table above: the published figures changed convention mid-lineage.

Is the GT-2000 12 still the newest GT-2000?

No. The GT-2000 13 replaced it in 2024, so the GT-2000 12 now sells as an older model and usually below its $140 list price.
