I’ve tested the Nike Pegasus 41 and the Nike Pegasus 42 — here's why I’d opt for the older model
The Nike Pegasus 41 is recommended over the newer Pegasus 42 due to its better value. While the Pegasus 42 features a new midsole design that enhances performance, the older model is significantly cheaper and still offers good performance. Discounts on the Pegasus 41 make it an attractive option for budget-conscious runners.
- ▪The Nike Pegasus 41 is currently available for $79, significantly lower than the Pegasus 42's price of $145.
- ▪The Pegasus 42 includes a full-length Air Zoom unit, which improves the ride compared to the Pegasus 41's two Air Zoom pods.
- ▪Despite the updates in the Pegasus 42, the Pegasus 41 remains a strong contender due to its lower price and similar performance.
