Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Brooks US official men's page lists 9.3oz / 263.7g. Brooks Japan official men's page separately lists 265g at 27cm, reflecting a small sample/source difference.
- Plate note
- Complete exact JP and US official construction covers DNA LOFTv2, Segmented Crash Pad grooves and the air-mesh upper without identifying carbon, supporting a non-carbon classification. This is not an explicit no-plate claim; two independent regional official descriptions corroborate the basis.
