What’s New

Variable flex along the rocker line, Mod Pour foam core, Magic Carpet fiberglass, sintered

What It Means for You

With a thicker and stiffer belly, and thinner and flexier tips, riders are able to rock into presses with ease. Similar to the Kinetik Flexbox 2, but with a larger sweet spot and more affordable price. Nice in the park and nice for your wallet — that’s a solid combo.
