Our Verdict
Saucony Triumph 22
Nike Pegasus 41
The Saucony Triumph 22 and the Nike Pegasus 41 are both daily trainers, but their ride experience is distinct. The Nike shoe has a more traditional design, with a lower stack height and a firmer feel. The Saucony is a more modern trainer, providing a softer, more cushioned ride, appealing to runners who prioritize plush comfort during their runs.
