Most people hear the word "beast" and think of an antagonist. As it turns out, the Brooks' Beast '18 just wants to play a supportive role in your life. Super soft cushioning in the midsole and stabilizing features prove that the Beast is just here to help you out. But if you expect a beast to be heavy, you'd be making an accurate assumption. All of those supporting features result in a weight 13.3 ounces and a midsole drop of 12mm. It's a road running shoe for men who crave more stability on their outings.
