Can I go straight from the Saucony Hurricane 24 to the Hurricane 26 and skip the Hurricane 25?

Yes. Going Hurricane 24 to Hurricane 26 skips the Hurricane 25, and neither update changed the ride, so you land on the same shoe two refinements later. The midsole is the one real difference: PWRRUN PB (PEBA) core inside a firm PWRRUN frame, CenterPath geometry, no medial post to incrediLUX (aliphatic TPU) top layer inside a firm PWRRUN frame, wider base.

How much did the weight change across these two updates?

1.4 oz off in total, 10.6 oz to 9.2 oz in a men's US 9. The Hurricane 25 took it to 10 oz first.

Is the Hurricane 25 the better buy than either of these?

On paper it splits them: 10 oz against 10.6 oz for the Hurricane 24 and 9.2 oz for the Hurricane 26, on a 38 mm heel and a $170 list price. Whether that is worth chasing depends on what the Hurricane 25 update actually did, which the section above works through.

Did the Hurricane get taller between the Hurricane 24 and the Hurricane 26?

Heel stack went 38 mm to 41 mm, by way of 38 mm on the Hurricane 25. Drop held at 6 mm throughout, so the extra foam sits under both ends.

Where does the Hurricane 26 sit in the Hurricane lineup now?

It is the current model, two versions on from the Hurricane 24 and the newest one you can buy at full retail.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Two updates and 2 years separate the Saucony Hurricane 24 from the Hurricane 26. Net change: 1.4 oz lighter, 3 mm more heel stack, a new midsole, $10 more at list. Neither update in between changed what the Hurricane is, so this is the same shoe refined twice rather than a new one.

Or buy the Hurricane 25 instead?

The Hurricane 25 is the value play if you find it discounted. It carries most of what the Hurricane 26 added while selling as an older model, and moving one version at a time is the smaller adjustment.
