Can I go straight from the Saucony Triumph 19 to the Triumph 21 and skip the Triumph 20?

Yes, but going Triumph 19 to Triumph 21 means taking one change in a single step: the Triumph 20 is where the ride moved. The drop also goes 8 mm to 10 mm across the jump, so give it a week of easy running.

How much did the weight change across these two updates?

0.4 oz off in total, 10.2 oz to 9.8 oz in a men's US 9. The Triumph 20 took it to 9.7 oz first.

Is the Triumph 20 the better buy than either of these?

On paper it splits them: 9.7 oz against 10.2 oz for the Triumph 19 and 9.8 oz for the Triumph 21, on a 37 mm heel and a $160 list price. Availability decides it: Amazon's Triumph 20 stock is gone in both men's and women's sizes, so it is not a live option.

Did the Triumph get taller between the Triumph 19 and the Triumph 21?

Heel stack went 32.5 mm to 37 mm, by way of 37 mm on the Triumph 20. Drop moved 8 mm to 10 mm, which is the change your calves and Achilles notice.

Where does the Triumph 21 sit in the Triumph lineup now?

Two versions on from the Triumph 19, and already replaced itself: the Triumph 22 arrived in 2024. If you are shopping old stock anyway, price the Triumph 21 against it before deciding.
