Pros

At 6.7 oz it is well below the 8.9 oz median for trail shoes on sale.
It lists at $124.99, well below the $170 median for trail shoes on sale.

Cons

At 20mm the heel stack is far below the 36mm median for trail shoes on sale.
The version before this one dates to 2014, so New Balance left the line alone for a decade.
