Flex
Carbon: Less flexible and flatter, ideal for great stability at high speed. For riders over 100kg, opt for carbon decks, which are more rigid.
Bamboo: More flexible, perfect for those who prefer a supple board and good support for carving thanks to its pronounced concave deck.
Ride experience
Bamboo Deck: Ideal for board sports enthusiasts and old-school longboard fans. Perfect for sliding and powering out of turns thanks to its flex. Suitable for casual all-terrain riding and sessions with friends.
Carbon Deck: Offering great stability, it is more suited for fast commutes, competition, and committed all-terrain riding.
Design
Carbon Version: Modern and understated design
Bamboo Version: Old-school design
Battery
Although there are few differences between the batteries, their installation on the deck is different. The bamboo has a flexible external casing fixed under the deck, while the carbon integrates everything internally with access via the top cover.
Our carbon boards have a power button and a charging port at the rear, while those on bamboo boards are located on each side of the battery casing.
