Brooks Revel Max vs Saucony Triumph 24

Brooks Revel Max

± Divisive

A smooth, rolling daily ride that is happiest at easy paces; some testers find the rocker and stiff forefoot dull and heavy when the pace rises.

Saucony Triumph 24

+ Praised

Light and lively for its size, with a smooth rocker that keeps easy miles and long runs comfortable; a few find it sinks into the foam and loses snap once the pace lifts.

Brooks Revel Max

± Divisive

The tall DNA LOFT v2 stack softens landings and protects easy miles, but several reviewers find it firmer and less plush than the Max name suggests.

Saucony Triumph 24

+ Praised

Deep, plush protection that stays supportive well into long runs, and it bounces back rather than feeling like a marshmallow.

Brooks Revel Max

+ Praised

A padded knit upper with a secure heel and easy step-in comfort; the standard-width fit is snug and there is no wide option.

Saucony Triumph 24

± Divisive

Padded, breathable and roomy for most, but a couple of reviewers find the forefoot tapered or the toe box shallow, and two hit an insole squeak.

Brooks Revel Max

+ Praised

Thick rubber coverage and strong lab abrasion results point to a long-wearing outsole, though the knit toe box is only average.

Saucony Triumph 24

+ Praised

Generous rubber coverage and little visible wear in long-term testing, with most expecting several hundred miles.

Brooks Revel Max

+ Praised

The full-coverage rubber outsole earns confident wet-road traction in lab testing and on the road.

Saucony Triumph 24

+ Praised

Sure-footed on dry and damp roads, and lab traction testing lands well above average.

Brooks Revel Max

+ Praised

A broad heel and very stiff heel counter make the neutral platform feel planted, especially for heel strikers.

Saucony Triumph 24

± Divisive

The wide platform and sidewalls mostly keep the very soft midsole in check, but reviewers split: several call it stable for a neutral shoe, while others find the heel wobbly and rate it less stable than the Triumph 23.

Brooks Revel Max

± Divisive

Most reviewers see fair value at $120, but others think the price is a little high for a shoe that does not stand out in any one role.

Saucony Triumph 24

± Divisive

Many think $170 is fair for premium foam at this weight, but a sizeable minority call it steep for a daily trainer, especially next to cheaper rivals.
