Which is lighter, the Saucony Triumph 21 or the Triumph 22?
The Saucony Triumph 21, by 0.3 oz in a men's US 9 (9.8 oz vs 10.1 oz).
Do the Saucony Triumph 21 and Triumph 22 come in the same widths?
Yes. Both run in D, 2E for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Triumph 21 carries over to the Triumph 22.
How do the stack heights compare?
37 mm heel and 27 mm forefoot on the Saucony Triumph 21, against 37 mm and 27 mm on the Triumph 22. Same platform under both.
Is the Triumph 22 still the newest Triumph?
No. The Triumph 23 replaced it in 2025, so the Triumph 22 now sells as an older model and usually below its $160 list price.
