Our Verdict

Saucony Triumph 22

Nike Pegasus 41

The Saucony Triumph 22 and Nike Pegasus 41 share a similar level of stability, but their ride experience is distinct. The Nike has a more traditional design, with a lower stack height and a firmer feel. The Saucony provides a softer, more cushioned ride, appealing to runners who prioritize plush comfort during their runs.
