With a deck of 9 layers of Canadian maple and a single layer of black veneer wood, you get a super strong, stiff and durable longboard in a stylish dark wood design. The concave for this deck is extreme, giving you a massively good grip for the feet and a significantly better responsiveness to your rides.
The wheels are angular and of size 70 mm, and have a hardness of 78 A and ABEC-9 ball bearings. Together, these features contribute to a longboard that runs stably, is efficient at keeping the pace and easy to control at higher speeds.
A top-mounted 7" size truck, keeps you higher up from the ground and gives you extra traction. In addition, you also avoid the truck getting in the way of your feet when you are out and riding down hills.
