The Grivet Take
The Ride 19 is the current Saucony daily neutral for women, retuned softer and a touch lighter than the v18. 35/27 stack with an 8mm drop, reformulated PWRRUN+ that reads more compliant, and a wider base for a steadier feel underfoot. Best for daily easy miles, long runs at easy pace, recovery days, and walkers. Skip it for tempo or speed work.

Tech, translated
PWRRUN+ (reformulated) is Saucony's supercritical TPU-blend foam, retuned in the v19 for a softer, more compliant feel vs the v18 formulation.
Wider base is the structural change in the v19. The platform underfoot is wider than the v18, which gives a steadier feel without committing to a stability category.
What changed from the previous version
Ride 19 is lighter, softer, and a touch wider underfoot than the v18. Reformulated PWRRUN+ delivers a more compliant feel, the heel cup is deeper, and the engineered mesh upper is more breathable.
