Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- Topo Athletic Japan official men's product page lists 232 g for M9.
- Plate note
- The exact JP and US official pages give a complete construction description: a 10.5 mm no-midsole platform, Vibram XS Trek EVO outsole, and the full core specifications; the US page also states Rock Plate: No. With no carbon structure in those complete exact-official specifications, carbon_plate is classified as false.
