  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The ASICS Noosa Tri 15 keeps its crazy, head-turning design while adding much-wanted features like FF Blast cushioning and a stable ride that we really enjoyed. Retaining the best elements of its predecessor, it naturally evolves as a versatile speedster without tacking on extra weight. Priced at $130, we consider it stands as a solid choice for both training and racing, though the absence of a carbon plate and a narrow heel might be drawbacks for some runners and triathletes. »
