Which is lighter, the Saucony Peregrine 11 or the Peregrine 12?

The Peregrine 12, by 1.1 oz in a men's US 9 (9.8 oz vs 10.9 oz).

Did the price change between the Saucony Peregrine 11 and the Peregrine 12?

Yes. List price went up $10, from $120 to $130. Street prices differ: the older shoe usually sells under list once its successor ships.

Do the Saucony Peregrine 11 and Peregrine 12 come in the same widths?

Yes. Both run in D for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Peregrine 11 carries over to the Peregrine 12.

How do the stack heights compare?

27 mm heel and 23 mm forefoot on the Saucony Peregrine 11, against 26.5 mm and 22.5 mm on the Peregrine 12. That is 0.5 mm less under the heel and 0.5 mm less under the forefoot. See the stack height note in the table above: the published figures changed convention mid-lineage.

Is the Peregrine 12 still the newest Peregrine?

No. The Peregrine 13 replaced it in 2023, so the Peregrine 12 now sells as an older model and usually below its $130 list price.

Every spec, side by side

Spec	Peregrine 11	Peregrine 12
FIT AND WEIGHT
Weight	10.9 oz	9.8 oz
	The point of the whole update, roughly an ounce per shoe out of the tongue, collar and overlays. No clean men's 9 figure survives for the 12 (Doctors of Running weighed a pair at men's 9.5, RunRepeat's lab a men's 10), so treat the chip as approximate; every source agrees on the direction and rough size.
Widths	D	D
Upper	Durable ultralight mesh over air mesh, thicker tongue and collar padding	Stripped-down mesh with TPU film at the forefoot and ripstop at the heel
	Where the ounce came from, and where the grief lives. A seventh-pair loyalist wrote you took away quality features to lighten a trail shoe; another blew through the side of the upper at about 100 miles; a third had a hole in the heel inside 20 wears.
CUSHIONING GEOMETRY
Heel stack	27 mm	26.5 mm
	Officially a half-millimetre trim. Worth knowing that RunRepeat's calipers read this generation much taller and steeper than quoted, 30.2 mm and a 6.9 mm drop, the biggest understatement in the line; the 4 mm figure on the box is marketing continuity as much as measurement.
Forefoot stack	23 mm	22.5 mm
Drop	4 mm	4 mm
MATERIALS
Midsole	PWRRUN	PWRRUN with a PWRRUN+ topsole
	The PWRRUN+ era starts here: a 7.2 mm soft topsole under the foot, which is most of why the stripped-down 12 does not ride harsh.
Plate	Woven full-length rock plate	Forefoot rock plate
VALUE
List price at launch	$120	$130
OTHER CHANGES
Rock plate	Woven full-length rock plate	Forefoot rock plate
	Protection concentrated where strikes actually happen, flexibility gained everywhere else. One of the three headline changes reviewers named.

Weighing whether to switch at all, rather than which of these two to buy? What replaced the Saucony Peregrine 11 covers the verdict on the update, what loyalists made of it, and the closest alternatives from other brands.
