Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Runners Pulse's exact-model launch article lists 264 g for men's M9; the former Topo Japan product URL now returns 404.
Plate note
The non-carbon classification retains the complete construction previously verified on the now-retired official Japanese product page. The current exact authorized-retailer description corroborates the ZipFoam and Vibram construction without identifying carbon. Presence of another non-carbon plate is not asserted.
