Flex
Carbon: Less flexible and flatter, ideal for superior stability at high speeds. For riders over 100kg, carbon decks are preferred due to their increased rigidity.
Bamboo: More flexible, perfect for those who prefer a supple board and excellent support for carving, thanks to its pronounced concave deck.
Ride Experience
Bamboo Deck: Ideal for watersports enthusiasts and fans of old-school longboards. Perfect for sliding and powering through turns thanks to its flex. Suitable for relaxed all-terrain riding and sessions with friends.
Carbon Deck: Offering great stability, it's better suited for fast commutes, competition, and aggressive all-terrain riding.
Design
Carbon Version: Modern and sleek design
Bamboo Version: Old-school design
Battery
While there are few differences between the batteries themselves, their installation on the deck varies. The bamboo features a flexible external casing mounted beneath the deck, while the carbon integrates everything internally with access via the top lid.
Our carbon boards have a power button and charging port at the rear, whereas those on bamboo boards are located on each side of the battery casing.
