Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Saucony launch press release lists men's 8.9oz / 252g.
Plate note
The exact US page, Saucony-issued release, and manufacturer SP23 catalog identify a PWRRUN PB core, PWRRUN foam support frame, XT-900, weight, drop, and stack. Complete official specifications identify no carbon structure, so carbon_plate is false. The PWRRUN Frame is a foam support structure, not a carbon plate.
