What reviewers say

Ride

Saucony Hurricane 26

Praised

A light, bouncy max-stack ride that rolls smoothly through easy and long miles and can handle some uptempo work; one tester finds it too much shoe for faster paces.

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.

Cushioning

Saucony Hurricane 26

Praised

Deep, soft IncrediLux foam with strong lab shock absorption and energy return, though the high stack reduces ground feel.

Saucony Triumph 24

Praised

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

Upper

Saucony Hurricane 26

Divisive

Breathable, secure mesh with a plush gusseted tongue for most, but the toe box tapers, the upper can feel warm, and the medial arch support is intrusive for one tester.

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.

Durability

Saucony Hurricane 26

Praised

XT-900 rubber and lab abrasion results are excellent, with the heel padding and upper holding up well.

Saucony Triumph 24

Praised

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

Grip

Saucony Hurricane 26

Praised

Wet-road traction improved markedly in the lab, and testers report confident grip.

Saucony Triumph 24

Praised

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

Stability

Saucony Hurricane 26

Praised

CenterPath geometry, a PWRRUN frame and a very broad base give moderate, well-integrated medial guidance.

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.

Value

Saucony Hurricane 26

Divisive

Most reviewers think the $170 price is fair for a durable, premium stability trainer, while one tester would not make it a go-to daily shoe at that price.

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.
