THE SHORT ANSWER
The Triumph 24 replaced the Triumph 23 in June 2026 at the same $170 list. It swapped PWRRUN PB for incrediLUX, a new ATPU foam, cut another 0.4 oz, and kept the upper and outsole largely intact. Reviews called it the plushest and liveliest Triumph in years.

What loyalists said about the update
Early reception is the warmest since the 21. Runners call incrediLUX one of the softest foams they have tried and say the 24 is less sleepy than older Triumphs, lighter and plusher at once. No backlash camp had formed as of mid-2026, though the shoe has only been out a few months.
