Our Verdict
Nike Pegasus 41
Nike Pegasus Plus
The Nike Pegasus Plus is lighter and considerably more efficient than the Nike Pegasus 41, making it the better pick if you want a daily trainer that can handle some faster running. However, the Pegasus 41 offers better impact protection and a more traditional daily-training ride. Get the Pegasus Plus for a faster version of the Pegasus 41; get the Pegasus 41 for easy miles.
