StabilityRelease date 2026-04-01US

The Beast GTS 26 is a maximum-support stability shoe for road running, walking, and orthotic use. Versus its predecessor, GuideRails is co-molded into the midsole to cut components and weight, working with a broad base to guide natural motion. DNA LOFT v3 delivers soft, durable cushioning. Its roomy upper accommodates varied foot shapes and orthotics, while RoadTack rubber adds pavement grip and durability.

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.
