Adidas Adizero SL2 vs ASICS Noosa Tri 16
काग़ज़ पर Adidas Adizero SL2 के मुकाबले ASICS Noosa Tri 16: 23 ग्राम हल्का, 4.1 मिमी कम ड्रॉप, 2.2 मिमी कम हील स्टैक, ₹7,000 सस्ता, राइड −0.5।
My take
Neither has much midfoot stability, so skip both if you pronate. SL2 is the winner with Lightstrike Pro foam, from short runs up to 4 km racing. Noosa Tri 16 is best for 5 km to 21 km racing at 4–6 min/km.

मेरे फ़ैसले
Adidas
Adizero SL2
If you want one shoe for all your training and racing from 5 km to the half marathon, the Adizero SL2 is highly recommended at ₹7,000 to ₹8,000. I would not buy it at the ₹12,000 retail price.
न लें अगर: You are a heel striker, run very slowly, or need stability or ankle support.

Noosa Tri 16
The Noosa Tri 16 is the most underrated ASICS shoe and my best value-for-money shoe of 2025; at the ₹6,000 I paid, I see no negatives. It suits fast runners with strong, stable ankles, not absolute beginners.
न लें अगर: You are a beginner, overpronate, need ankle stability, have narrow-fit issues or dislike rockers. Try it in a store first.
