Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Brooks US official Beast GTS 26 page confirms 12.5oz / 354.4g. A Japan-market weight listing was not confirmed.
Plate note
The exact Brooks US page and Brooks Spring 2026 specification cover GuideRails, DNA LOFT v3, the broad base, upper, and RoadTack outsole without identifying any carbon structure, so the model is classified as not carbon-plated. GuideRails is a support system.
