NOOSA TRI 16
NOOSA TRI 16 updates this lightweight triathlon and fast-road trainer with FF BLAST PLUS in place of the 15's FLYTEFOAM. GUIDESOLE and full-ground contact geometry support a smooth forward roll. A breathable mesh upper removes added overlays, while ASICSGRIP replaces AHARPLUS for stronger traction in wet conditions. ASICS also reports a lighter men's build than the previous model.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The exact ASICS US men's page directly lists 215 g without stating the sample size. The official comparison separates men's 227-to-215 g change from women's 196-to-185 g change; no shared sample size is inferred.
- Plate note
- The expanded exact official US construction covers FF BLAST PLUS, GUIDESOLE, mesh, ASICSGRIP, the sockliner and full-ground contact without identifying carbon. Retain the non-carbon classification on complete construction evidence, not an explicit claim that all plates are absent.
