Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
270g at 27cm from Brooks Japan official product page.
Plate note
Brooks Japan and US exact pages confirm the SkyVault trail plate, and AD Sport's exact Catamount 4 page identifies it as a Pebax plate. It is therefore classified as a named non-carbon structure.
