Questions runners ask

Which is lighter, the Saucony Triumph 19 or the Triumph 20?
The Triumph 20, by 0.5 oz in a men's US 9 (9.7 oz vs 10.2 oz).
Did the price change between the Saucony Triumph 19 and the Triumph 20?
Yes. List price went up $10, from $150 to $160. Street prices differ: the older shoe usually sells under list once its successor ships.
Do the Saucony Triumph 19 and Triumph 20 come in the same widths?
Yes. Both run in D, 2E for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Triumph 19 carries over to the Triumph 20.
How do the stack heights compare?

Is the Triumph 20 still the newest Triumph?
No. The Triumph 21 replaced it in 2023, so the Triumph 20 now sells as an older model and usually below its $160 list price.
